Polymetallic Organotin Transition Metal Complexes

This chapter comprises polynuclear organotin compounds. The derivatives contain at least three different metal atoms arranged in a metal-metal-metal-chain and contain one or more tin-carbon bonds. Tin is always linked to a transition metal. The third metal in the chain is a different transition metal or arsenic, antimony and silicon. All compounds are listed in Table 262. The following synthetic methods are reported. 

1 Dealkylation reaction of polymetallic organotin metal complexes with chlorine, bromine or hydrochloric acid. 

Ill Exchange reaction of arsine and stibine with RnSn[M (C0)s]4 n- 

White cryst., m. 215-15°/ soly. (i) White cryst., m. 210-12°, soly. (i) Mass spectrum
