The crystal structure exhibits the typical structural features of dimeric Lewis-base-stabilized monoorganotin(IV)-dihalide-hydroxides, RSnHal2(OH), i.e. two octa-hedrally coordinated Sn atoms are linked together via two bridging hydroxide groups, resulting in a centrosymmetric four-membered rhomboid-like Sn-OH ring with acute angles at the Sn atom, obtuse angles at the O atoms and two different tin-oxygen bond lengths. With the shorter bond trans to the ethyl group, this observation underlines once more the so-called trans-strengthening effect in monoorganotin(IV) com-pounds with octa-hedrally coordinated Sn atoms. Differences and similarities in the bond lengths and angles in the four-membered Sn-OH rings have been worked out for the rings in dimeric diorganotin(IV)-halide-hydroxides, [R 2SnHal(OH)]2, and hydrates of dimeric tin(IV)-trihalide-hydroxide-aqua-hydrates, [SnHal3(OH)(H2O)]2·nH2O.
