HETEROARYLTIN COMPOUNDS. THE CHEMISTRY AND 119Sn MOESSBAUER SPECTROSCOPY OF SOME 3-THIENYLTIN HALIDES, AND A COMPARISON WITH 2-THIENYL AND 2-FURYL ANALOGUES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(83)80242-3

The preparation of a range of (3-thienyl)tin halides, (3-C4H3SnX4-n (n=2 or 3; X=Cl, Br or I), and some complexes with donor ligands, is described.Moessbauer spectroscopy indicates that the halides have unassociated, tetrahedral, structures.The related 2-thienyl- (and 2-furyl-) tin halides have also been prepared and characterised by Moessbauer spectroscopy, but are much less stable.
