The n-perfluoropropyltin compounds (C3F7)4 Sn, (C3F7)3SnCH3, (C3F7)2SnR2 (R = CH3 and CH=CH2), (C3 F7)2(R)SnCl (R = CH3 and CH=CH2) and C3F7(C6H5)2SnCl were prepared by the reaction of C3F7MgX (X = CI or Br) with the appropriate organotin halide.A novel 1:1 adduct was formed between (C3F7)4Sn and 1,10-phenanthroline.Bromine cleavage of (C3F7)2Sn(CH=CH2)2 gave (C3F7)2SnBr2. (C3F7)4Sn was found to be remarkably stable toward cleavage by Br2, HCl and SnCl4.Keywords: Tin; Fluorocarbons
