For the synthesis of metalloid cluster compounds of tin applying the disproportionation reaction of subvalent metastable Sn(I) halides, Si(SiMe 3 ) 3  proved to be the ligand with the highest synthetic potential. However, degradation of the Si(SiMe 3 ) 3  ligand can also lead to cluster enlargement where additional silicon atoms are incorporated into the cluster core. Here we describe the structure and bonding of the novel anionic cluster compound {Sn 10 Si(SiMe 3 ) 2 [Si(SiMe 3 ) 3 ] 4 } 2-   5 , where such a degradation has taken place. Additionally, requirements for the formation of  5  are discussed.
