The synthesis and structural characterisation, by low temperature X-ray diffraction and solid-state NMR, of the highly reactive monomeric Me 3Sn(trop) (1) complex has been studied; 1 rearranges into Me 2Sn(trop)2 (2) and Me4Sn by methyl-transfer dismutation. Based on the NMR kinetic data it appears that complex 1 demethylates faster in the solid and liquid than in dilute CDCl3 solution, but with a slower rate than in dilute CD3OD solution.
