Development of a Method for the Sampling and Analysis of Organotin Compounds

摘要

Organic tin compounds are of major importance to the chemical industry. They are used as intermediates in synthesis, as stabilizers, as catalysts and as pesticides; they rank fourth in the industrial production of organometallics. These compounds are of major economic importance but they also have adverse health effects, with some organotin compounds apparently more harmful than others. The purpose of this study has been to develop analytical methodology which will allow collection of organotin compounds with subsequent separation and quantification of each species found.
