The reaction of bis(triphenylstannyl)sulfur diimide 1 with water in CH
2Cl2 provides an alternative route to bis(triphenylstannyl)sulfite 2,
affording crystalline material suitable for structural analysis (monoc
linic, space P2(1)/n). The sulfite 2 is monomeric in solution but form
s polymeric chains in the solid state with both tetra-and penta-coordi
nate tin atoms.
