Abstract

The reaction of 4-thiomethylbenzoic acid with [n-BuSn(O)OH]n in a 6:6 stoichiometric ratio results in the formation of a hexameric organostannoxane drum. (1) On treatment of 1 with HAuCl4 a ring opening reaction occurs to afford a hexatin ladder. (2) The synthesis and structural characterization of these compounds are discussed.
