title: Synthesis and Thorough Investigation of Discrete Organotin Telluride Clusters.
abstract: Systematic experimental and theoretical investigations of reactions of R(1)SnCl3 (R(1) = CMe2CH2C(Me)O) with (Me3Si)2Te allowed for the stepwise formation and single-crystalline isolation of the first tin sesquitelluride clusters with functional organic ligands. Subsequent derivatization of the latter took place under reorganization of the inorganic core, affording clusters with complex hybrid architectures.
