Attempts to prepare lanthanide tri- and tetrathionates were unsuccessful, although evidence for Ln/SnO62− containing species was obtained by spectroscopic methods. Two isomeric complexes of neodymium trithionate and a tetrathionate with Ph3PO were structurally characterised as was an unusual [Er(H2O...
