title: Synthesis and characterization of [ButNSn(mu-NBut)2TeNBut](mu3-SnTe), a stannanetellurone with four-coordinate tin.
abstract: Treatment of [Li2Te(NBut)3]2 with Sn(O3SCF3)2 or SnCl2 in diethyl ether generates the stannanetellurone [ButNSn(mu-NBut)2 TeNBut](mu3-SnTe) involving four-coordinate tin with d(Sn=Te) = 2.589(1) A; the two Sn and two Te atoms are in different oxidation states (+II/+IV and +IV/-II, respectively).
