The interactions of triphenyltin(IV) O,O'-alkylenedithiophosphates, [(X₆H₅)₃SnS(S)POGO], (G=-CHC(H)-CH₃,-CH(CH₂)₃CH₂ and –C(CH₃)₂(CH₃)₂C-) with various N, O and S donor Lewis bases have yielded new stable molecular adducts. The results suggest the presence of the· and six-coordinated tin atom in case of unidentate and bidentate Lewis bases, respectively.
