Di‐ and trinuclear organotin(IV) complexes, in which the metal atoms are separated by large aromatic connectors, are useful building blocks for self‐assembly. This is demonstrated by the preparation of [1+1], [2+2], and [2+3] macrocyclic and cage‐type structures in combination with organic aromatic dicarboxylates. The linkage of the metal atoms by organic binders and the option of varying the number of reactive M−X sites generate versatile building blocks enabling molecular tectonics instead of the node‐based strategy generally employed in metallo‐supramolecular self‐assembly.
