Abstract: The centrosymmetric title compound, [Sn₄(C₄H₉)₈(C₁₁H₁₁O₃)₄O₂], contains a planar Sn₂O₂ core with the O atoms bonded to two dibutylbis[3-(4-methylbenzoyl)propionato]tin units. The exocyclic Sn atom is five-coordinate with a distorted C₂SnO₃ trigonal-bipyramidal geometry and the endocyclic Sn atom is six-coordinate with a C₂SnO₄ skew-trapezoidal bipyramidal geometry.
