Electrochemical synthesis of dialkylsubstituted polystannanes and their properties
Abstract
Poly(dibutylstannane) and poly(dioctylstannane) were obtained by electrochemical polymerization of dibutyldichlorostannane and dioctyldichlorostannane, respectively, in a one-compartment cell equipped with a platinum cathode and a silver anode, using tetrabutylammonium perchlorate and DME as the supporting electrolyte and the solvent, respectively.
