The reduction of SnCl 2 by the low‐valent gallium(I) β‐diketiminate Ga I (ddp) gives the title complex, which is best described as a Zintl‐type anionic [Sn 17 ] 4− cluster stabilized by an electrophilic shell of gallium ligands. This reaction could represent a new concept for the synthesis of metalloid main‐group clusters. ddp=HC(CMeNC 6 H 3 ‐2,6‐ i Pr 2 ) 2 .
