The electrochemical behaviour of three series of organotin(IV) compounds having the general formula R y SnX 4− y (R = Me, nBu or Ph, y = 2 or 3, X = Cl; R = Me or Ph, y = 3, X = NO 3 , N 3 , NCS, NCO, OAc or OH) have been examined in the non‐aqueous solvents dimethylformamide and acetonitrile, at rotating disc electrodes of glassy carbon and gold electrodes. The reduction of tin(IV) in the above series gave a single wave and obeyed the Levich plots at both electrodes in the two solvents. The electrode kinetic parameters and halfwave potentials have been determined, and the effect of solvents and substituents on these parameters have been explored.
