By oxidative‐addition of X2 (X = Cl, Br) to SnF2 in acetonitrile, monomeric SnF2Cl2(MeCN)2 and polymeric or oligomeric SnF2Br2(MeCN)2 are obtained. The corrected v CN IR frequencies provide a good indication of the Sn–N bond strength. The reactions of SnF2 with Br2 and I2 in the presence of DMSO, and with I2 in the presence of pyridine yield the disproportionation products rather than the mixed‐halide compounds. That suggests that the stability of the mixedhalide compounds decreases when the difference between the halides increases. The reaction of SnF2 with I2 in acetonitrile gives rise to SnF4(MeCN)2, and provides a simple and inexpensive route to SnF4 and its complexes, as MeCN is lost under mild conditions or substituted by other ligands. In this way we have prepared SnF4L2 (L = DMF, DMSO, THF, Py). The structure of the compounds is discussed in terms of the IR and 119Sn Mössbauer spectra and, in the case of SnF4L2, the Mössbauer isomer shift and the IR v Sn–F compared to the corresponding SnCl4L2 compounds.
