Abstract

The title compound, [Sn(2)(C(72)H(98))Te(2)(Te(3))], has a cage-like structure with bulky aryl substituents on the Sn atoms. The mol-ecule sits over a crystallographic twofold axis, and hence the asymmetric unit consists of one half-mol-ecule. Due to the twofold axis, the tritelluride part has a 1:1 disorder. One of the six-membered rings has a boat conformation, whereas the other has a chair conformation. The ditelluradistannane ring has a bent structure, with a dihedral angle of 32.89 (2)° between the two Te-Sn-Te planes.
