Abstract

Organotin fluorides, notably dialkyltin difluorides, well adpated for the manufacture of coated insulating glassware and having controlled morphology, are prepared by reacting a stannic compound, e.g., an organotin chloride, with a fluorinating agent, e.g., hydrofluoric acid or an ammonium fluoride, admixing the organotin fluoride thus produced in a solvent that is immiscible with the fluorinating agent but which solubilizes the organotin fluoride therein, subsequently or simutaneously heating the solvent medium to a temperature sufficient to release unreacted fluorinating agent therefrom, and cooling such solvent medium and thereby crystallizing therefrom an organotin fluoride having a controlled morphology, e.g., well defined platelets having a characteristic DTA spectrum.
