[N-(2-Aminocyclohexyl)salicylaidiminato-κ3O,N,N′]-dichlorophenyltin(IV) chloroform solvate

In the title compound, [SnCl2(C19H22N2O)].CHCl3, the deprotonated N-(2-aminocyclohexyl)salicylaldimine Schiff base chelates in an O,N,N'-tridentate manner to the Sri atom. The octahedral tin coordination environment is completed by a phenyl ring and two chloride ions; the bonded C atom of the phenyl ring along with the three chelating atoms comprise an approximate square plane. The molecules of the complex are linked by N-H...O and N-H...Cl hydrogen bonds to form a helical chain running along the b axis; the solvent molecules occupy the space between the chains but are not hydrogen bonded to them.
