3-oxido-tetratin(IV)The tetranuclear title compound, [Sn4(CH3)8(C2H5O)2O2(C3H4N3S)2], lies about a center of inversion; the molecule features a three-rung-staircase Sn4O4 core in which two SnIV atoms are bridged by the 4-methyl-5-sulfanylidene-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ide group. The negatively charged N atom of the group binds to the terminal SnIV atom at a shorter distance [Sn-N = 2.240 (3) Å] compared with the neutral N atom that binds to the central SnIV atom [Sn
N = 2.641 (3) Å]. The terminal SnIV atom is five-coordinate in a cis-C2SnNO2 trigonal-bipyramidal geometry [C-Sn-C = 127.5 (2)°], whereas the central SnIV atom is six-coordinate in a C2SnNO3 skew-trazepoidal bipyramidal geometry [C-Sn-C = 145.0 (2)°].
Dimethyltin diisothiocyanate (1 mmol), 4-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (1 mmol) and 1,10-phenanthroline (1 mmol) were loaded into a convection tube; several drops of triethylamine were added. The tube was filled with dry ethanol and kept at 333 K. Colorless crystals were collected from the side arm after several days.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions [C—H 0.95 to 0.98 Å, Uiso(H) 1.2 to 1.5Ueq(C)] and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation.

The title compound (Scheme I, Fig. 1), a distannoxane, was the unexpected product from an attempt at synthesizing a dimethyltin 4-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-thiolate that possesses a tin-sulfur linkage. In the reaction of diorganotin oxides with organic acids (particularly carboxylic acids), tetranuclear distannoxanes are sometimes formed; these compounds have four organic groups. In the present reaction, two of the four organic groups are replaced by ethoxide groups.
Tetranuclear Sn4O2(CH3)8(C2H5O)2(C3H4N3S)2 lies about a center-of-inversion; the molecule features a three-rung-staircase Sn4O4 core in which two Sn atoms are bridged by the C3H4N3S triazolate group. The negatively-charged N atom of the group binds to the terminal Sn atom at a shorter distance [Sn–N 2.240 (3) Å] compared with the neutral N atom that binds to the central Sn atom [Sn←N 2.641 (3) Å]. The terminal Sn atom is five-coordinate in a cis-C3SnNO trigonal bipyramid whereas the central Sn atom is six-coordinate in a C2SnNO3 skew-trazepoidal bipyramidal geometry.
