THE SULFURIC ACID SOLVENT SYSTEM: PART VII. SOLUTIONS OF SOME TIN(IV) AND LEAD(IV) COMPOUNDS

Abstract
Solutions of tetramethyl tin trimethyl tin sulfate, di-n-butyl tin diacetate, tetraphenyl tin, and triphenyl tin hydroxide in. 100% sulfuric acid have been investigated by cryoscopic and conductimetric methods. Tetramethyl tin reacts with sulfuric acid with the evolution of methane and the formation of trimethyl tin hydrogensulfate. Trialkyl tin hydrogensulfates and dialkyl tin dihydrogensulfates behave as strong bases. It is probable that the cationic species formed are protonated hydrogensulfates rather than "stannonium" ions. Phenyl-substituted tin compounds are cleaved in sulfuric acid with the formation of benzene sulfonic acid and the complex hexa(hydrogensulfato) stannic acid, H2Sn(HSO4)6, and its anions. Lead tetraacetate gives yellow solutions containing hexa(hydrogensulfato) plumbic acid, H2PB(HSO4O6, and its anions.
