Abstract: A compound represented by formula I or II and a method for preparing the same. The method includes: a) adding isooctyl mercaptopropionate to a reactor, adding dropwise an aqueous solution of methyltin chloride, stirring and allowing for a complete reaction, and adding aqueous ammonia, an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate, an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate, or a solution of an organic base to regulate the pH value of a resulting mixture from a starting value of between 2 and 8 to an end value of between 6 and 10 for a primary stage of esterification; and b) allowing a product obtained from step a) to proceed to a secondary stage of the esterification, allowing the product to stand until phases are separated, collecting and washing an organic phase using deionized water, allowing a resulting mixture to stand until phases are separated.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compounds of the formula: (R)x—Sn—(R?)4-x wherein: R is alkyl; R? is a moiety selected from the group consisting of: w is 0 or 1; x is 1 or 2; y is 1, 2, 3, or 4; and Z is a linear, branched, cyclic, or aromatic hydrocarbon. These compounds are excellent stabilizers for halogen-containing resins, such as PVC.

Abstract: The heat and light stability imparted to vinyl halide polymers by metal compounds conventionally employed for this purpose is considerably improved by the presence of a mercapto ester such as 2-mercaptoethyl stearate. The esters can replace a substantial portion of the metal compound with no significant reduction in stability.

Abstract: Novel ligated compounds of tin, titanium, and zinc are useful as metal oxide CVD precursor compounds without the detriments of extreme reactivity yet maintaining the ability to produce high quality metal oxide coating by contact with heated substrates.

Abstract: A glass coating agent is provided which is adapted for application onto the surface of a glass substrate and, upon heating, forms a metal oxide layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing water-soluble organotin catalysts by contacting organotin compounds with polyelectrolytes and, optionally, subsequently removing the water.

Abstract: A novel, eight structural polymer of 2-oxygermylpropionic acid having an empirical formula of C.sub.6 H.sub.10 Ge.sub.2 O.sub.7, a minimum constitutional unit of (O.sub.1/2).sub.3 GeCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 COOH and the following stereostructure: ##STR1## wherein R stands for --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 COOH and m is an integer of 137.+-.84.
