Abstract
This review focuses on organotin compounds exhibiting Sn–O–Se moieties, the molecular
structures of which have been previously resolved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction
analysis. Three distinct classes of compounds have been identified. Thus, the various
modes of coordination of selenite, selenate and organoseleninate anions with tin atoms
of organotin(IV) fragments are illustrated and detailed.
