A new headspace solid-phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) method followed by gas chromatography with pulsed flame photometric detection (GC-PFPD) analysis has been developed for the simultaneous determination of 11 organotin compounds, including methyl-, butyl-, phenyl- and octyltin derivates, in human urine. The methodology has been validated by the analysis of urine samples fortified with all analytes at different concentration levels, and recovery rates above 87% and relative precisions between 2% and 7% were obtained. Additionally, an experimental-design approach has been used to model the storage stability of organotin compounds in human urine, demonstrating that organotins are highly degraded in this medium, although their stability is satisfactory during the first 4 days of storage at 4 °C and pH=4. Finally, this methodology was applied to urine samples collected from harbor workers exposed to antifouling paints; methyl- and butyltins were detected, confirming human exposure in this type of work environment.

The readily accessible iron complex [Cp*FeCl(tmeda)] is an effective catalyst for the highly regio- and stereoselective trans-hydrostannylation of terminal alkyl alkynes, affording a type of alkenylstannanes that is difficult to make otherwise. The RSn- moiety is faithfully delivered to the terminal C-atom, unless a propargylic or homo-propargylic ─OH or ─NH group is present in the substrate, which (partly or fully) inverts the regiochemical course; this steering effect, however, can be switched off upon protection of the protic site. The trans-addition likely starts by insertion of the [Cp*FeCl] fragment into the RSn─H bond, followed by a migratory insertion of the ligated alkyne into the Fe─Sn unit of the Fe(IV) species thus formed.

We report a quantification approach for directly determining total tin and tin-based pollutants/species in sediments via electrothermal vaporization/inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ETV/ICP-MS) utilizing an on-line isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) approach. The method was developed and validated using an estuarine sediment reference material (BCR-277R), yielding a recovery of 106%. A relative standard deviation (RSD) of 14%, comparable to published data using a similar method, was obtained.

We report the synthesis of six mononuclear organotin(IV) compounds, [RSn(L)] [R = Ph (1), t-Bu (2), and Me (3)] and [RSn(L)] [R = Ph (4), t-Bu (5), and Me (6)] supported by two polydentate pro-ligands, (E)-2,4-dichloro-6-(((2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)imino)methyl)phenol (HL) and (E)-2,4-dichloro-6-(((2-hydroxyphenyl)imino)methyl)phenol (HL). HR-MS, multinuclear (H, C, and Sn) NMR spectroscopy, and FT-IR spectroscopy were used to characterize all compounds (1-6). Structural investigation via single-crystal X-ray diffraction confirmed a mononuclear geometry for all compounds, each featuring a five-coordinate tin(IV) center.

The toxic side effects of acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) on humans are concerning, but studies related to its effects on osteoarthritis (OA) are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the potential targets and mechanisms of action of ATBC in OA through network toxicology. We obtained ATBC-related targets from the ChEMBL, Swiss Target Prediction, and STITCH databases and OA-related targets from the GeneCards, DisGeNET, and OMIM databases and identified overlapping targets.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a common cancer affecting children worldwide, and current treatment has adverse effects such as neurotoxicity. To overcome this problem, new organotin (IV) dithiocarbamate compounds were synthesized. In this study, the T-lymphoblastic leukemia cell line (CCL-119) was tested against seven new compounds: diphenyltin (IV) diisopropyl dithiocarbamate (ODTC 1), diphenyltin (IV) diallyl dithiocarbamate (ODTC 2), triphenyltin (IV) diisopropyl dithiocarbamate (ODTC 3), triphenyltin (IV) diallyl dithiocarbamate (ODTC 4), triphenyltin (IV) diethyl dithiocarbamate (ODTC 5), dimethyltin (IV) diisopropyl dithiocarbamate (ODTC 6) and dimethyltin (IV) diethyl dithiocarbamate (ODTC 7) hereafter referred to as ODTC 1-7, to identify their cytotoxic effects (MTT assay), mode of cell death (Annexin V FITC/PI staining) and effects on the cell cycle (RNase/PI staining) as well as genotoxic effects (alkaline comet assay).
