Abstract
Abstract The electrochemical behaviour of phenyltin trichloride has been studied using various electrochemical techniques including polarography, coulometry and cyclic voltammetry. Phenyltin trichloride has been found to show a single major polarographic wave corresponding to a three-electron reduction process to form phenyltin free radicals which rapidly polymerise. Slow hydrolysis of phenyltin trichloride to stannoic acid has been observed to be the major cause of the time-dependence of the limiting current. Analytical methods for the determination of PhSnCl 3 at formulation and trace levels and in the presence of di- and triphenyltin compounds have also been developed.
