Three organotin(IV) complexes containing ciprofloxacin as a ligand (Ph₃SnL, Me₂SnL₂ and Bu₂SnL₂; 0.5% by weight) were used as additives to inhibit the photodegradation of polyvinyl chloride films (40 µm thickness) upon irradiation with ultraviolet light (λmax = 313 at a light intensity = 7.75 × 10-7 ein dm-3 S-1) at room temperature. The efficiency of organotin(IV) complexes as photostabilizers...

SJV Chelvanayakam (1898-1977), a ranking civil lawyer and legislator, was probably the well known Parkinson disease victim in the 20th century Sri Lanka. He was born in Ipoh, Malaya, where his father had moved in the last decade of the 19th century for professional advancement. Ipoh was then an attractive location for migrants from China and the Indian subcontinent since it was in the Kinta val...

Esta revisão cobre os principais eixos de pesquisa desenvolvidos nas Universidades Livres de Bruxelas entre 1961 e 2001. Primeiro, introduzimos os conceitos desenvolvidos no campo das reações de quebra das ligações carbono-estanho em compostos RR’R”R”’Sn usando reagentes E-N, obtendo-se R-E e R’R”R”’SnN, em solventes nucleofilos e não nucleofilos. A adição do nucleofilo ao íon metálico é necess...

Triphenyltinbenzoate was synthesized using triphenyltinchloride and silver benzoate prepared from sodium benzoate. The structure of the synthetic compound was elucidated by spectral and C, H analysis. The antibacterial activities of the organotin compound were determined against four bacteria namely Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Streptococcus pyogenes (clini...

Effectiveness of the 1989 environmental protection regulations in reducing concentrations and biological effects of tributyltin (an organotin) a marine antifoulant, in Victorian coastal water-bodies.

Nucella lapillus imposex levels and organotin (OT) concentrations in water and female tissues were measured in samples collected from the Ria de Aveiro (NW Portugal) between 1997 and 2007. Vas deferens sequence index (VDSI), relative penis size index (RPSI), mean female penis length (FPL) and percentage of imposex affected females (%I) were used to determine imposex levels at each site. A signi...
