Corrections should be as follows:

(1) Page 1, column 1, line 41 (paragraph 4): (Fig. 1) should be inserted between the word molecules and the period (.), in the sentence. The crystal structure of 2 is built by discrete neutral [Sn{N(SePiPr2)2–Se,Se’}2] molecules.

(2) Page 2, column 1, line 9 (paragraph 2): The reference quoted as 6a should be changed to 6b in the following sentence. The P–N–P angles (142.0°) for 2 and 3 are considerably larger than those corresponding to the free ligand (131.2°).6a

(3) Page 2, column 1, line 11 (paragraph 2): [M{N(SePiPr2)2–Se,Se’}2] should be changed to [M{N(XPiPr2)2–X,X’}2]” in the following sentence… A similar phenomenon is observed in the related complexes: [M{N(SePiPr2)2–Se,Se’}2] [M = Cd, Co, Ni ; X = Se, S; with P–N–P values ranging from 137.1 to 144.4°].

4) Page 2, column 1, line 39 (paragraph 4): “[Sn{N(SePiPr2)2–Se,Se’}2]2” should be changed to “[Sn{N(SePPh2)2–Se,Se’}2]2” in the following sentence. Taking into account, that phenyl p–p interactions were held accountable for the existence of the SP geometry in the dimeric [Sn{N (SePiPr2)2–Se,Se’}2]2 (1), it is extraordinary to find a perfect square planar geometry as a feature in the SnSe4 core of the discrete molecules of 2.

(5) Page 2, column 1, line 55 (paragraph 5): SnX4 (X = S, O) and SnX2Y2 cores (X = O or Se, Y= S) should be changed to SnO4 and SnS2Se2 cores in the following sentence…Whereas, the hitherto known SnX4 (X = S, O) and SnX2Y2 cores (X = O or Se, Y= S) correspond exclusively to angular geometries.

(6) Page 2, column 2, Notes and References section: Reference 6(a) D. Cupertino, D. J. Birdsall, A. M. Z. Slawin, J. D. Woolins, Inorg. Chim. Acta, 1999, 287, 61 should be changed to D. Cupertino, R. Keyte, A. M. Z. Slawin, D. J. Williams, J.D. Woollins, Inorg. Chem. 1996, 35, 2695.
