Abstract/Summary

Aerial oxidation of the novel homocyclic tetratin species [{SnAr2}3SnArBr] (1) [1] (Ar  C6H3Et2-2,6) affords the tritin heterocycle [O{Sn(C6H3Et2-2,6)2}3] (2), which has been crystallographically characterised; 2 is the first reported oxatristannacyclobutane, and the first heterocyclic tin species having both tintin and tinheteroatom bonds.
