Abstract

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.
