A new structural form of tin in a double O-capped cluster.
A novel hexameric organooxotin cage [{(n-BuSn)3(PhO)3O}2{HPO3}4] 1 has been assembled by the reaction of [n-BuSnO(OH)] with (PhO)2P(O)H. The structure of 1 consists of two O-capped Sn3 clusters that are attached to each other by four bridging tripodal [HPO3]2- ligands.
