Addition of 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (mesitylene or mes) to the tin(II) salts, Sn(SO 3 F) 2 and Sn(SbF 6 ) 2 , results in the formation of adducts of the composition Sn(SO 3 F) 2 •mes and Sn(SbF 6 ) 2 •2mes in very high yield. The adducts are characterized by chemical analysis and infrared spectra. The adduct formation is followed by 119 Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy. It appears that only tin(II) compounds with large, weakly nucleophilic anions are capable of forming mesitylene adducts, while SnCl 2 , SnF 2 , and stannocene do not give any indication of adduct formation under similar conditions. Keywords: tin(II)–mesitylene complexes, synthesis, vibrational study, 119 Mossbauer spectra.
