%X Different modes of asymmetric coordination found for certain tin(IV) xanthate and dithiocarbamate complexes are rationalized in terms of valence-bond resonance schemes. As tin-atom lone-pairs are absent in these compounds, the observed asymmetry cannot be a consequence of lonepairlbond -pair repulsions.
