Abstract
Examination of the characteristic pits produced by etching natural and mechanically damaged crystal surfaces shows that these are formed at the ends of dislocation arrays. Etch-pit shape, symmetry, and patterned arrays indicate that tetraphenyltin is a plastic, organometallic crystal with dislocation glide in {110} planes. The [001] direction is the most likely slip direction and the direction of the Burgers vector.
