Sooo many organotin compounds can be made with the Girgnard reagent

TBT was my 2nd favorite antifouling boat bottom paint until they banned it. 

Copper bottom paint was the best.

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - the Question

Hi folks - here is the Friday Element Quiz which will be the last one for 2010. I send out the final answer next week prior to the holiday break. 
And this one is going to be tough as the element is very well know:

The Question:

This element forms a variety of organometallic compounds which see substantial commercial importance: a reducing agent in organic synthesis, an anticaries additive in toothpaste  and a ceramic pigment). This is a low melting point alloy. The boiling point of this element is 2632C. What element is this?
