Crystal Structure and Hirshfeld Surface Analysis of Tri-chlorido-(1,10-phenanthroline-κ ,')phenyltin(IV)

The title compound, [Sn(CH)Cl(CHN)], which was obtained by the reaction between 1,10-phenanthroline and phenyl-tin trichloride in methanol, exhibits intra-molecular hydrogen-bonding inter-actions involving the chlorine and hydrogen atoms. Crystal cohesion is ensured by inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, as well as -⋯π and π-stacking inter-actions involving three different aromatic rings with centroid-centroid distances of 3.6605 (13), 3.9327 (14) and 3.6938 (12) Å]. Hirshfeld surface analysis and the associated two-dimensional fingerprint plots reveal significant contributions from H⋯H (30.7%), Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (32.4%), and C⋯H/H⋯C (24.0%) contacts to the crystal packing while the C⋯C (6.2%), C⋯Cl/Cl⋯C (4.1%), and N⋯H/H⋯N (1.7%) inter-actions make smaller contributions.
