The acyclic ferrocenyl amino substituted stannylene Sn[N(Fc)SiMe 3 ] 2 1 was synthesized from tin(II) chloride and in situ formed LiN(Fc)(SiMe 3 ). The molecular structure of 1 in the solid state shows two short intramolecular Fe ··· Sn contacts suggesting electron donation of the iron(II) atoms to the tin(II) atom as double intramolecular metal‐only Lewis base/Lewis acid adduct. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations support this Fe→Sn stabilizing effect.
