The efficiency and applicability of three different methods to synthesize polystannanes with different side chains are described. By means of dehydrogenative coupling utilizing the transition metal catalyst RhCl(PPh 3 ) 3 (Wilkinson's catalyst), n ‐Bu 2 SnH 2 reached the highest molar masses. Dehydrogenetive coupling in the presence of tetramethylethylenediamine could be best employed for (4‐ n ‐BuPh) 2 SnH 2 . Wurtz coupling using sodium in liquid ammonia was best suited for Ph 2 SnCl 2 . Next to the above‐mentioned educts, n ‐Bu(Ph)SnX 2 (X = H or Cl (as appropriate for the particular route) was used for polymerization resulting in one of so far rare example of asymmetric polystannanes with high molecular masses.
