Dithiastannecine compounds of the type [{D (C6H4CH2S) 2} SnR1R2] with different donor atoms D were prepared, where D= O and R1= R2= Ph (4a); R1= Ph, R2= Cl (5a); R1= n-Bu, R2= Cl (6a); D= S and R1= R2= Ph (4b); R1= Ph, R2= Cl (5b); R1= n-Bu, R2= Cl (6b). The molecular structures of the monochloro compounds 5a, 5b, 6a, and 6b were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and exhibit trigonal bipyramidal geometry at the tin atom ...
