Organotin Compounds with Group VI Metals

This chapter comprises organotin compounds containing Group VI transition metal complexes. Existence of a tin-metal bond has recently been proven for complexes containing carbonyl groups as well as carbonyl and cyclopentadienyl groups. The compounds listed in Tables 257 and 258 are prepared by methods from the following scheme. 

I Reaction of organotin halides RnSnX4-n with sodium salts of transition metal complex NaX.  

II Reaction of organochlorotin transition metal complex R SnCl3-nX with LiCeFs- 

III Addition of organotin halides R SnX4-n to transition metal carbonyl amine complex LM(C0)4  

IV Carbonyl exchange reaction of an organotin transition metal carbonyl R3SnX with
