A cyclic (R2SnAu)(3) anion (3(-), R2Sn=2,2,5,5-tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)-1-stannacyclopentane-1,1-diyl) has been synthesized as a stable blue salt with K+(THF)(6) through the reaction of stable dialkylstannylene 1 with R ' 3PAuCl (R '=Et, Ph) followed by the reduction with KC8. Crystallographic and NMR analysis shows that the six-membered (SnAu)(3) ring of 3(-) is planar and highly symmetric with an equal distance of six Au-Sn bonds. A UV/Vis spectrum of 3(-) in hexane reveals an intense absorption maximum at 598 nm. While cyclic Au-3(-) with four valence electrons is known as unstable anti-aromatic anion, 3(-) with three divalent tin ligands is stable sigma aromatic anion with an unprecedented Mobius orbital array as predicted by the perturbation MO and CCSD analysis of 3(-).
