title: Dibromidodi-μ-hydroxido-di-μ(3)-oxido-octa-phenyl-tetra-tin(IV).
abstract: In the centrosymmetric title compound, [Sn(4)Br(2)(C(6)H(5))(8)O(2)(OH)(2)], the four tin(IV) atoms are bridged by the hydroxo and oxo ligands, forming a ladder-like array of three edge-connected Sn(2)O(2) squares. The two independent tin atoms show distorted trigonal-bipyramidal SnC(2)O(3) and SnC(2)O(2)Br coordination geometries.
