description

Abstract The preparation and physical and spectroscopic properties of eight compounds of the type Me4Sn2X2 (X  O2CR, S2CNR2, S2P(OR)2) are described, starting from Me4Sn2Cl2. The spectroscopic data indicate that X functions as an isobidentate ligand. The tintin coupling constants are extremely large (ca. 11–15 kHz), and can be correlated with the pKa values of the corresponding acids HX.
