Field of study
Analytical methods for the determination of methyltins in aqueous solutions were investigated. Methyltins ((CH_3)_nSn^) were derived to hydrides ((CH_3)_nSnH_) using sodium borohydride and extracted with benzene. Various factors related to hydridization and extraction were studied, and the optimum analytical conditions were established. Each methyltin in 50 ml of aqueous solution could be detected in the range of 0.5-250 μg as Sn using a gas chromatography-flame photometric detector (tin selective detector)
