Sn II /Sn IV double‐cubanes [Sn 7 (NR) 8 ] , and not as expected simple imidotin( II ) cubanes of the type [{SnNR} 4 ], are obtained from reactions of [Sn(NMe 2 ) 2 ] with 2‐aminopyridines and ‐pyrimidines (the structure of the 2‐imidopyrimidine derivative is shown). This ligand‐dependent structural modification may indicate an as yet untapped area of electrochemistry involving other main group metal cage complexes.
