Chlorotris(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)tin(IV), crystallizes from ethanol as solvent-free needles, [Sn(C(9)H(11))(3)Cl], (I), and as the hemisolvate, [Sn(C(9)H(11))(3)Cl].0.5C(2)H(6)O, (II). The asymmetric unit in (I) has three independent molecules, whereas in (II), there are two [Sn(C(9)H(11))(3)Cl] molecules together with one ethanol molecule. In the unit cell of (II), the ethanol molecules lie in channels between stacks of (Mes)(3)SnCl molecules (Mes is 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) and each ethanol molecule is disordered (0...
