“…The review summarizes reported coordination compounds utilizing dithiophosphonates on the basis of 1,3,2,4‐dithiadiphosphetane‐2,4‐disulfides . The common methods of synthesizing S ‐organotindithiophosphates, dithiophosphinates and tetrathiophosphates were usually based on the reactions of the corresponding phosphorus dithioacids or their salts with organotin halides (also in the presence of β ‐diketones), oxides, hydroxides, tetraalkyltin or tributyltin isocyanates . We have recently developed alternative methods of synthesizing tin(IV) derivatives of phosphorus dithioacids by use tetraphosphorus decasulfide and 1,3,2,4‐dithiadiphosphetane‐2,4‐disulfides as dithiophosphorylating agents.…”
