The crystal structure of (Me2Sn)3(PO4)2,8H2O shows one tin atom in a regular octahedral environment with trans-methyl groups, and the other two tin atoms in a highly distorted (〈C–Sn–C = 147°, 150°) tetrahedral configuration due to weak co-ordination to two water molecules; all the water molecules are involved in hydrogen bonding to each other and to phosphate oxygen atoms.
