Polystannanes electrochemical

The emphasis of most other electrochemical studies, however, has been on the formation of polystannanes, (R.2Sn) , from difunctional compounds R3SnX2 (see below). 

Other methods of polystannane synthesis include electrochemical methods [22], Thus, [ Bu2Sn]n 10,900 MJM = 2.6) and [ Oet2Sn]n (M = 5900 MJMn = 1.7) were prepared by the eleetroehemieal polymerization of dibutyldichlorostannane and dioctyldiehlorostannane, respectively, by using a platinum cathode and a silver anode. Tetrabutylammonium perchlorate is used as the supporting electrolyte and dimethoxy ethane is used as the solvent.
