Mössbauer spectra of organotin compounds. Part IV. Compounds containing Sn–S bonds

Abstract

It is shown that Mössbauer spectroscopy can be used to assign configurations to adducts of tetrathiolatotion compounds of the type SnX₄ Y₂(X = S, Y = N or O). The signs of the electric field gradients are +ve for a cis- and -ve for a trans-isomer. Some new triphenyltin and tributyltin thiolates and thioacetates have been prepared; the Mössbauer spectra of these and other compounds are reported and discussed.
