The structures are polymeric owing to the presence of bidentate bridging carboxylate ligands; no evidence was found for Sn to S interactions. The Sn atom geometries are distorted trigonal bipyramidal with the organo substituents occupying equatorial positions. The structures found for the title compounds conform to the trans-R₃SnO₂ motif.enJournal article10.1515/MGMC.1995.18.1.27
