The trimethylstannylhydrazines (Me3Sn)2N-NMe2 (1), Me3Sn(Me)N-N(Me)SnMe3 (2), (Me3Sn)2N-N(Me)SnMe3 (3), and (M e3Sn)2N-N(Ph)SnMe3 (4) have been studied by δ15N NMR at natural abundance. A correlation between δ15N of hydrazines and δI5N of corresponding am ines (replacement of one N-atom by the CH-unit) is proposed in order to estimate δI5N values and to support the non-trivial assignment of 15N resonances of hydrazines. Geminal coupling constants 2J(119SnN 15N) have been observed for the first time. Their relative magnitude is related to the probability of the N-Sn bond being in cis-position with respect to the orientation of the lone electron pair at the 15N nucleus in the 119Sn-N-15N fragment. Treatment of 4 with phenylacetylene causes non-selective cleavage of the Sn-N bonds, leading to the trim ethylstannylhydrazines 5 and 6 which have been characterized by 119Sn and 15N NMR spectroscopy in solution
