With the development of industry and agriculture, organotin compounds are widely used as stabilizers, catalysts, and biocides.1 The use of organotin compounds as antifouling paints has led to deleterious effects for nontarget aquatic life even at low levels below several ng L–1. The fate of organotin compounds in the environment involves biotic and abiotic dealkylation processes leading to the ...

Efficiency of ionic liquid supported organotin reagents in halodemetalation reaction has been investigated. High radiochemical yields of astatinated and iodinated compounds have been obtained using simple work-up procedure. This methodology represents a straightforward approach for the preparation of molecular imaging and therapy agents in nuclear medicine.

Semi volatile organochemicals such as chlorinated organophosphorus and organotin compounds are detected in many indoor materials and residential house dust samples. Chlorinated phosphorus based flame retardants are found in 90 % of over 1,500 house dust samples ranging from 0.1 to 1,300 mg/kg. The results of material samples show that many polyurethane soft foams, sealants, and finishes contain...

A new class of bis-di-organotin (IV) compounds were synthesized in good yields (ca. 80%) by a one-step five molecules reaction in which intervene two molecular equivalents of leucine, one of 5,50-methylenebis-salicylaldehyde and either two of di-n-butyltin (IV) or diphenyltin (IV) oxides, that independently provided two bis-di-organotin derivatives. The structures of these two compounds were es...

The toxicity mechanisms of mercury and tin organic derivatives are still under debate. Generally the presence of organic moieties in their molecules makes these compounds lipophilic and membrane active species. The recent results suggest that Hg and Sn compounds deplete HS-groups in proteins, glutathione and glutathione-dependent enzymatic systems; this process also results in the production of...

In this review, the main synthetic aspects and properties of fluorinated arylenevinylene compounds, both oligomers and polymers, are summarized and analyzed. Starting from vinyl organotin derivatives and aryl halides, the Stille cross-coupling reaction has been successfully applied as a versatile synthetic protocol to prepare a wide series of π-conjugated compounds, selectively fluorinated on t...
