Phosphite complexes of tin(II)

Abstract
Evidence has been found for the presence of the species, SnHPO3, Sn(HPO3)22–, and Sn(HPO3)34– in solutions of tin(II) phosphite in the pH range 4·5–8. The solid complexes M4Sn(HPO3)3(M = NH4, Na, K, Rb, or Cs) have been prepared. The Mössbauer and i.r. spectra of the complexes are consistent with the presence of a pyramidal triphosphitostannate(II) ion in these materials. The thermal decomposition of the complexes is discussed and their X-ray data reported.
