This study aimed to investigate the properties of tin(II) oxide (SnO) as an unconventional cross-linking agent for chloroprene (CR) and styrene-butadiene (SBR) rubbers compositions. The use of tin(II) oxide results from the need to reduce the use of zinc oxide as a cross-linking agent due to environmental regulations and its toxic impact on aquatic environments. The studied elastomeric blends can be cross-linked with tin(II) oxide, and the results demonstrate the significant potential of this oxide in such applications. The CR/SBR vulcanizates cross-linked with SnO exhibit good mechanical properties and a high degree of cross-linking. The studies clearly show that the proportions of both rubbers as well as the amount of tin(II) oxide used influence the cross-linking of the CR/SBR blends and the properties of vulcanizates. FTIR spectrum analysis allowed the identification of the cross-linking mechanism, which followed the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction mechanism. The AFM analysis determined the miscibility of the rubbers and interelastomeric reactions, proving that the rubbers studied are partially miscible. The results of the oxygen index measurements indicated that the obtained vulcanizates showed flame resistance and self-extinguishing properties. Multivariate regression was performed to fit the models to the experimental value and to determine the influence of the content of the cross-linking agent and the CR and SBR proportions on the properties of the blends.

In this work, we focused on the systematic study of catalysts based on p-block elements from period 5, such as indium(iii), tin(ii), tin(iv) and antimony(iii) acetates, which displayed contrasting performances influenced by the oxidation state of the metal center. Analysis of the obtained oligomers by different techniques, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF), revealed the selectivity of each catalyst toward the ROP of l-LA.

Tin(II) compounds are versatile materials with applications across fields such as catalysis, diagnostic imaging, and therapeutic drugs. However, oxidative stabilization of Sn(II) has remained an unresolved challenge as its reactivity with water and dioxygen results in loss of functionality, limiting technological advancement. Approaches to slow Sn(II) oxidation with chelating ligands or sacrificial electron donors have yielded only moderate improvements.

Despite significant progress in tin-based perovskites, the development of stable and high-performance tin-based perovskite solar cells (TPSCs) remains a challenge. In this pursuit, a multitude of strategies have been explored, encompassing the use of reducing agents, antioxidants, bulky cations, and customized solvent systems. We propose an improved approach for synthesizing SnI from elemental tin and iodine.

Despite numerous studies have reported the inhibition of tin (II) oxidation in mixed tin-lead halide perovskite, there remains a dearth of mechanistic information regarding how tin (II) undergoes oxidation in the precursor solution, particularly in terms of the involvement of DMSO. We here take advantage of density functional theory (DFT) to uncover that SnI can coordinate with DMSO and react with singlet oxygen, resulting in the generation of Sn (IV). Moreover, our DFT simulations reveal that benzaldehyde oxime (BZHO) competes with SnI in reacting with oxygen through the Alder-ene reaction, hence effectively restraining the oxidation of tin (II), which is further verified by several experimental characterizations.
