Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 1999 Jul 12;38(13-14):2050-2052. doi: 10.1002/(SICI)1521-3773(19990712)38:13/14<2050::AID-ANIE2050>3.0.CO;2-L.

Abstract

Two different routes were used to synthesize [(Me3Sn)3O]Cl, a compound which, in the solid state, has a planar AB layer structure, similar to that of graphite, as a result of cation-anion interactions (see picture).
