description

The solid-state of the title compound, [Sn3(C4H9)6(CH3O)3O][Sn2(C4H9)2(CH3O)7], consists of distinct [tBu6Sn3(μ-OCH3)3(μ3-O)]+ cations and [tBu2Sn2(OCH3)4(μ-OCH3)3]− anions, apparently formed as a result of slow hydro­lysis of pure di(tert-butyl)­di­methoxy­stannane, tBu2Sn(OCH3)2. In the monocation, the coordin­ation about the Sn atoms is distorted trigonal bipyramidal, and, in the monoanion, distorted octahedral. The trigonal bipyramidal arrangement induces planarity of the Sn3O4 motif.
