Pectrochemistry of 1,1,2,2,3,3-hexa(2,6-diethylphenyl)cyclotristannane. The first examples of electrochemical generation of a stannylene radical anion and a tristannane radical cation

摘要

The radical anion of di(2,6-diethylphenyl)stannylene (Ar2Sn) has been generated by the electrochemical reduction of cyclotristannane cyclo-(Ar2Sn)(3), and the electrochemical oxidation of cyclo-(Ar2Sn)(3) resulted in Sn-Sn bond cleavage with the formation of the radical cation of tristannane.
