We demonstrate the increased Lewis acidity on going from Sn(II) to Sn(IV) by oxidizing TpSnOTf (OTf = SOCF) to TpSnF(OTf). Replacement of the fluoride ion in TpSnF(OTf) by a triflate, resulting in TpSn(OTf) further enhances the Lewis acidity at tin. Sn NMR spectroscopy, modified Gutmann-Beckett test, computational analysis, and catalytic phosphine oxide deoxygenation support the claims.
