Organotin-Nitrogen Compounds (concluded) Organotin-Phosphorus, -Arsenic, -Antimon, and -Bismuth Compounds (Gmelin Handbook of Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry - 8th edition) (Part 19)

This volume describes mononuclear organotin compounds with bonds between the tin atom and Group 15 elements (N, P, As, Sb, Bi). It continues the coverage of the organotin-nitrogen compounds, started with volume 18 in 1990 which spans a large variety of substances including compounds with additional bonds to hydrogen, Group 16, or Group 17 elements. Another important chapter is devoted to the organotin-phosphorus compounds. The first authentic organotin phosphine was synthesized in 1959. Numerous other Sn-P compounds have subsequently been prepared and characterized. Many of them are interesting with respect to their use as synthons for novel organophosphorus compounds. Decreasing stability in the series Sn-AS, Sn-Sb, and Sn-Bi restrics the number of possible organotin derivatives. To date, no nomonuclear organotin-bismuth compounds have been isolated, but some evidence has been presented for the intermediate existence of one such compound.
