The electrochemical oxidation of tin into solutions of RSH (R = C6H5 C6H4CH3) gives Sn(SR)2. When 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline is added to the solution phase, the product is the tin(IV) species Sn(SR)4L. The electrochemical oxidation is shown to involve Sn(II) as the first product in each case. The crystal structure of Sn(SC6H5)4bpy is monoclinic, with a = 13.150 (5) ?, b = 17.438 (6) ?, c = 14.215 (6) ?, β = 93.49 (3)°, V = 3254 (2) ?3, Z = 4, and space group P21/n (C2h5, No. 14). The molecule has a distorted octahedral SnS4N2 kernel, with bond distances of 2.449 (Sn-S) and 2.331 ? (Sn-N). With a lead anode, the product is Pb(SC6H5)2; no lead(IV) species could be isolated.
