Methylation of tin(II) and lead(II) in sediment by carbanion donors

cited By 1International audienceA factorial experimental design determined separate and combined effects of MeCoB12 (methylcobalamin) and Me2Co(N4)+ (a methylcobalamin model) on methylation of Sn(II) and Pb(II) in sediment matrices. Total methyltin yields ranged from 1.4% to 3.2%, and total methyllead yields varied from 0.037% to 0.11%. No methylmetal products occurred in the absence of Me2Co(N4)+.
