Abstract

The mass spectra of (Me₃Sn)_nCH_4−n, where n varies from 1 to 4, (Me₃Sn)₂CClX, where X equals H, Cl, Br or I, together with some tetraalkyltin compounds and Me₃SnCCl₃, are presented. Comparisons with mass spectra of the silicon analogs¹ show a large number of similarities, including the appearance of allylic ions which require Group IV metal to carbon π‐bonding. Multiple rearrangements are observed with the halogenated tin compounds which bring the α‐halogen into direct bonding with the tin atom.
