Abstract
The gas phase electron diffraction data of C(SnMe(3))(4) recorded wit h a nozzle temperature of about 120 degrees C are consistent with a mo lecular model of T symmetry; the bond distances (r(a)) are C-Sn = 217 .7(3), Sn-C = 216.2(4), and C-H = 112.2(6) pm; the valence angles angl e CSnC = 112.3(4)degrees and angle SnCH = 111.5(6)degrees.
