Abstract
Bis(tri-n-butyl)tin-113 oxide was prepared from tetrabutyltin and tin-113 tetrachloride by redistribution reaction between alkyl groups, with the formation of the intermediate tri-n-butyltin-113 chloride, which was hydrolyzed to form the desired product. Purification of the reaction mixture by alumina column chromatography, followed by thin layer chromatography, revealed a pure sample. The sample was also distilled under vacuum as a further check on the efficiency of the purification methodology; radioactivity resided in the bis(tri-n-butyl)tin oxide fraction. Infra-red analysis of similarly prepared non-radioactive sample showed the SnOSn bond; the spectra agreed with published spectra, and with the spectra obtained in our laboratory from commercial samples.
