A novel electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometric approach for the structure elucidation of ionic organotin(IV) compounds or complexes with weakly bonded ligands as for example monodentate carboxylates or sulfonates is proposed using both positive-ion and negative-ion ESI tandem mass spectra. The ionization mechanism of organotin(IV) compounds involves the cleavage of the most labile bon...

In 2006, organotins pollution were investigated in the coastal environment of Xiamen, China. Six species of organotin compounds including tributyltin, triphenyltin and their degradation compounds were quantified in the dissolved and particulate phases of the water, and in the sediment using GC-FPD. The concentrations of organotin compounds ranged from 2.2 to 160 ng (Sn) L(-1) dissolved in the w...

Organotin(IV) compounds have seen a marked increase in industry utilization over the years and exhibited enormous economic benefits as well environmental costs due to their numerous industrial, medical, agricultural uses other applications. The present review is continuation of aseries reviews on use organotin(IV), chemicals, synthesis, characteristics geometry industrial biological

The extent of pollution with organotin compounds and Cd, Pb, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cr, Mn, V, Co and Al was investigated in sediments and mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) from the Slovenian costal area of the Northern Adriatic Sea. Sampling was performed in Marina Portoroz, Dockyard Izola, non exposed area of the Bay of Mesecev zaliv and in Mariculture Secovlje. Mussels were taken in the summer and wi...
