μ-Succinato-bis(aquatriphenyltin) bis(o-phenanthroline)

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Sn-2(C6H5)(6)(C4H4O4)(H2O)(2)].2C(12)H(8)N(2), each Sn atom in the centrosymmetric mu-succinato-bis(aquatriphenyltin) molecule interacts with an o-phenanthroline indirectly through the coordinated water molecule [Sn<--O-water=2.612 (1) Angstrom], which forms a short hydrogen bond with one of the o-phenanthroline N atoms [O-water...N=2.899 (2) Angstrom]; the five-coordinate Sn atom shows trans-C3SnO2 trigonal bipyramidal coordination. The weak hydrogen bond involving the second H atom of the water molecule and the carbonyl O atom of an adjacent molecule of mu-succinato-bis(aquatriphenyltin) [O...O-i=3.123 (2) Angstrom; symmetry code: (i) x, 1/2-y, 1/2+z] links the molecules into infinite layers parallel to the bc plane of the crystal.
