Synthesis and applications of organotin(II) sulfide ({2,6‐(Me 2 NCH 2 ) 2 C 6 H 3 }Sn) 2 (μ‐S) ( 1 ), organotin(II) thiophenolate {2,6‐(Me 2 NCH 2 ) 2 C 6 H 3 }Sn(SPh) ( 2 ) and organotin(IV) heptasulfide {2,6‐(Me 2 NCH 2 ) 2 C 6 H 3 } 2 Sn 2 S 7 ( 3 ) as potential single‐source precursors (SSPs) for the deposition of SnS or SnS 2 thin films using a spin‐coating method are reported. Compounds 1 , 2 and 3 differ either by tin oxidation state or by Sn:S ratio (Sn:S = 2:1 in 1 , 1:1 in 2 and 2:7 in 3 ). It is shown that compound 1 is not a suitable SSP for thin‐film fabrication using the spin‐coating process because of its incomplete decomposition at annealing temperature. However, compounds 2 and 3 seem to be promising SSPs for spin‐coating of amorphous semiconducting thin films of SnS and SnS 2 , respectively. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
