Abstract

Abstract : In a cooperative effort between research groups from Dortmund (Germany, coat of arms on the left) and Cuernavaca (Morelos, México, coat of arms on the right), novel molecular cages were synthesized and characterized by state‐of‐the‐art analytical methods and DFT calculations. Among these novel compounds, the spacer‐bridged tetraorganodistannoxane in the centre showing a double‐ladder structure exhibits a record spacing between the opposite tin centres.
