[SnR2Cl2] (R = Me, 'Bu) react with OPPh2C6H4SH in the presence of NaOEt aff
ording mononuclear derivatives [SnR2(OPPh2C6H4S)(2)] (1, 2) with two units
of the oxide of the thiophenylphosphine. The loss of one of such units is a
chieved by the reaction of 1 and 2 with HCF3SO3 or HClO4 giving rise to com
plexes with the formula [SnR2(OPPh2C6H4S)]A (A = CF3SO3, ClO4) (3a-b, 4a-b)
. The crystal structure of [Sn'Bu-2(OPPh2C6H4S)]ClO4 (4b) has been determin
ed by X-ray diffraction. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
