Enantiomerically pure and racemic dimethyl{N-[(2-oxidonaphthalen-1-yl-κO)methylidene]valinato-κ2N,O}tin(IV)

Abstract

The title compound, [Sn(CH3)2(C16H15NO3)], crystallized from one reaction batch with high enantiomeric excess as both a pure enantiomer and a racemate. TheSenantiomer crystallizes in the chiral space groupP32. The racemate crystallizes in the space groupP\overline{1} withRandSenantiomers in the crystal lattice; these form dimers about a crystallographic inversion centre.
