✦ Synopsis

Classical d.c. polarography. supplemented by other voltammetric techniques, is used to elucidate the mechanism of reduction of di-and tri-halide derivatives of tris(trimethglsilyl)methyltin, despite the difficulties encountered in work at very negative potentials in ethanolic solutions. The diha.lides are reduced in two irreversible oneelectron steps; the trihalides are reduced in three one-electron steps, the first of which is quasi-reversible, the other two being irreversible. The first step in each case is adsorption-controlled while the others are diffusion-controlled.
