title: Formation of a unique 'unsupported' hydridic stannate(II).
abstract: The reaction of the amido-stannate LiSn(NMe2)3 with the phosphine-borane (t)Bu2PHBH3 gives the Sn(II) hydride [(Me2NH)2Li{BH3P((t)Bu)2}2Sn(H)]; the first example of a hydridic stannate(ii) that is not supported by transition metal or ligand bonding.
