The tin derivative 3-butenyltriphenylstannane [Ph₃Sn-CH₂-CH₂-CH=CH₂] (A) has been prepared; the crystal and molecular structure has been determined by X-ray analysis. The compound crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P42₁c with a = b = 11.860(3), c = 6.839(2) A, Z = 2. Refinement converged to the final R index 0.044. The crystal and physical data are compared with those of tetraphenyltin (B); the relevant differences are explained in terms of structural disorder.
