Selenolates physical properties

Thiolato derivatives of main-group metals provide an interesting contrast to those of the transition metals, since despite the industrial application of compounds such as organotin sulfides, much remains to be done in the study of the chemistry of these interesting compounds. Methods for the preparation of organotin thiolates and selenolates have been reviewed, as have their physical and chemical properties. The preparation of tris(benzenethiolato)-indium by the reaction of InClj with NaSCgHj in methanol has recently been described, as have the properties of this compound. ...
