| Popis: | An investigation of the solid-state X-ray structures of the cubanes [SnN{2-Me-5-MeOC6H3}]4, (1), [SnN{2,5-(MeO)2C6H3}]4, (2), and [SnN{3,5-(MeO)2C6H3}]4, (3), containing meta-MeO substituents on their aromatic groups, shows that unprecedented modes of intra- and intermolecular association occur. In 1, novel co-ordination of two of the cubane Sn2N2 faces by thf ligands is found, the first observation of Lewis base solvation by a separate donor ligand in this class of complexes. In 2, dimerisation of cubane units occurs via a combination of Sn⋯Sn, Sn⋯O and arene⋯Sn interactions, whereas in 3, an unusual ‘sinusoidal’ pattern of aggregation is seen. |
