title: Redetermination of tetra-kis(trimethyl-stann-yl)germane.
abstract: Redetermination of the structure of the title compound, [Ge(SnMe(3))(4)] or [GeSn(4)(CH(3))(12)], previously refined from powder diffraction data only [Dinnebier, Bernatowicz, Helluy, Sebald, Wunschel, Fitch & van Smaalen et al. (2002 ▶). Acta Cryst. B58, 52-61], confirms that four bulky trimethyl-stannyl ligands surround the central Ge atom (site symmetry 1) in a tetra-hedral coordination.
