Sulfidostannates, or thiostannates are chemical compounds containing anions composed of tin linked with sulfur.
Related compounds include the thiosilicates, and thiogermanates, and by varying the chalcogen: selenostannates, and tellurostannates.
Polyhedra shapes are tetrahedron for four, trigonal bipyramid for five, and octahedron for six sulfur atoms.
[3] Sn10O4S208- is a supertetrahedron made from 1, 3 and 6 tin atoms connected by oxygen on the interior and sulfur on the surface.
[3] The first human production of a thiostannate heated tin oxide with sodium carbonate and sulfur:[4] 2SnO2 + 2Na2CO3 + 9S → 2Na2SnS3 + 2CO2 + 3SO2 Transition metal complexes may be prepared by crystallisation from the ligand solvent.
