1,5-Bis[2,6-bis­(2,4,6-triisopropyl­phen­yl)phen­yl]-2,3,4,6,7-penta­tellura-1,5-di­stannabicyclo­[3.1.1]hepta­ne

Abstract

The title compound, [Sn2(C72H98)Te2(Te3)], has a cage-like structure with bulky aryl substituents on the Sn atoms. The mol­ecule sits over a crystallographic twofold axis, and hence the asymmetric unit consists of one half-mol­ecule. 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
