Sn II is significantly more tightly bound than Ge II in the cavity of the [2.2.2]paracyclophane(L), as shown by the structure analyses of the complex cations [LSn(AlCl 4 )] ⊕ and [LGeCl] ⊕ 1 . In the tin complex the AlCl 4 ⊕counterion is loosely coordinated via a Cl atom to the metal (Sn‐Cl 3.073 Å) and thus hardly disturbs the expected trigonal‐planar coordination, whereas the strong GeCl bond (GeCl 2.224 Å) in 1 leads to a weakening of the Ge‐arene interaction and to a preferential tetrahedral environment for the metal.
