Tetrakis[trimethyl( N ‐nitroso‐ N ‐phenylhydroxylaminato)tin(IV)] was synthesized by reaction of cupferron ([PhN(O)NO]NH 4 ) with trimethyltin(IV) chloride. The complex was characterized by X‐ray diffraction analysis, FT‐IR and FT‐Raman spectroscopy. An X‐ray structural analysis of the title complex [Me 3 Sn(O 2 N 2 Ph)] 4 reveals the first example of a bridging coordinated cupferronato ligand. This coordination pattern leads to an unprecedented inorganic 20‐membered (carbon‐free) metallamacrocycle Sn 4 O 8 N 8 in which four Me 3 Sn and four PhN 2 O 2 subunits are self‐assembled.
