Et2Sn(O2PPh2)2 has been synthesized by the reaction of (Et2ClSn)2O with Ph2POCl in toluene and by the treatment of (Et2ClSn)2O or Et2SnCl2 with HO2PPh2 in methanol. The reaction of Et2SnO with HO2PMe2 in toluene was used to prepare Et2Sn(O2PMe2)2. An X-ray diffraction study of Et2Sn(O2PPh2)2 (space group P1̅, Z = 1, a = 559,9( 1), b = 983,7(1), c = 1262,4(l)pm, α = 81,85( 1 )°, β = 79,79( 1)°, γ = 75,00(1)°; structure refinement with 2662 independent reflections, R = 0.055) shows that the structure is polymeric and the O2PPh2 ligands function as double bridges between the tin atoms leading to the formation of centrosymmetric Sn2O4P2 eight-membered rings. The ethyl groups are in trans-position in the resulting octahedral environment around tin. The I. R. and Raman spectra of Et2Sn(O2PR2)2 (R = Ph, Me) have been discussed and assigned. The mass spectra of Et2Sn(O2PR2)2 show Sn(O2PR2)+ as the base peak.
