abstract = {The room-temperature crystal structure of trimethyltin
hydroxide, (CH$_3$)$_3$SnOH, has been described by Anderson
et al. [Cryst. Growth Des. 2011, 11, 820–826] as a 2a ×
2b × 8c, 32-fold superstructure. We report a a × b × 8c,
eight-fold superstructure with orthorhombic P2$_1$cn
symmetry and Z′ = 4. Structured diffuse scattering
observed at the positions of presumed superlattice
reflections along a* and b* might have appeared as Bragg
reflections in the experiment by Anderson et al.
Alternatively, Anderson et al. and the present work might
have studied different polymorphs of (CH$_3$)$_3$SnOH.
Crystalline (CH$_3$)$_3$SnOH constitutes polymeric chains
arranged parallel to c. In the eight-fold superstructure at
220 K, the polymeric chains possess a distorted zigzag
arrangement of linked linear O–Sn–O units with bent
angle at oxygen of ∼139.2°. This structure is essentially
different from the 8$_3$-helical arrangement in the
published 32-fold superstructure model. The origin of the
distorted zigzag structure is explained by steric hindrance
between hydrogen atoms of adjacent hydroxy groups and
(CH$_3$)$_3$Sn groups. Frustration in the packing of the
chains is determined by steric hindrance between methyl
groups of neighboring chains, which prevents the formation
of interchain C–H···O hydrogen bonds.},
