We describe herein the synthesis and crystal structures of two compounds, hexakis (2, 6-diethylphenyl) cyclotristannoxane (1) and hexakis (2, 6-diethylphenyl) cyclotristannane (2). The latter cy-clotristannane system obviously constitutes the smallest cyclic framework made exclusively of tin atoms1, while compound 1 is a rare crystalline diorgano tin oxide that possesses a discrete molecular structure with tetracoordinate tin atoms. 2 The alkaline hydrolysis of diorgano tin dihalides, the most common method of preparing the corresponding tin oxide, always in the past led to the formation of insoluble polymeric compounds exhibiting wide melting ranges as well as Mossbauer spectra indicative of pen-tacoordinate tin. 3 Crystallographic analyses of both 1 and 2 (1) Four-membered and larger ring systems have long been known. For reviews, see:(a) Gilman, H.; Atwell, WH; Cortledge, F. K. Adv. Orga-nomet. Chem. 1964, 4, 1.(b) Armitage, D. A.“Inorganic Rings and Cages”; Edward Arnold: London, 1972; Chapter 4.

Lab. 1982, 30, 191.(2) Di-zerz-butyltin oxide postulated to exist as the trimer (z-Bu2SnO) 3 in solution is the only other diorgano tin oxide with tetracoordinate tin atoms [(a) Chu, C. K.; Murray, J. D. J. Chem. Soc. A 1971, 360]. For the crystal structure of this compound, see:(b) Puff, H.; Sievers, R.; Zimmer, R.; Schuh, W. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1981, 20, 591.(3) This behavior is in sharp contrast with thatof the analogous oxides of silicon and germanium, which readily form cyclotrisiloxanes and cyclotrigermoxane, respectively.
