The asymmetric unit of the crystal structure of the title compound, [Sn(C~8~H~5~)~4~], consists of one fourth of a discrete tin complex and one half of another which both possess nearly ideal tetrahedral symmetry; the site symmetries of the two Sn atoms are \overline4 and 2. The bond angles at all a
