On the Metallo-organic Compounds. XII. Dialkyltin Sulphide R2SnS (or tri-thio-anhydro-tris-dialkylstanne-dithiol (R2SnS)3)

Abstract Dialkyltin sulphide has been prepared by treating dialkyltin dihalide with KSH in absolute alcohol, saturated with hydrogen sulphide. The six-membered hetero-cyclic structure (Remark: Graphics omitted.) and the term tri-thio-anhydro-tris-dialkylstanne-dithiol are suggested for the compound from the results of the molecular weight determination.
