Organotin(IV) Complexes Containing Sn-O-Se Moieties: A Structural Inventory

This review focuses on organotin compounds exhibiting Sn-O-Se moieties, the molecular structures of which have been previously resolved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Three distinct classes of compounds have been identified. Thus, the various modes of coordination of selenite, selenate and organoseleninate anions with tin atoms of organotin(IV) fragments are illustrated and detailed. 1 Introduction 2 Organotin(IV) Selenite Complexes 3 Organotin(IV) Selenate Complexes 4 Organotin(IV) Organoseleninate Complexes 5 Summary
