Applications regional considerations

The BUSES model has been run for each of the organotins under consideration. This involved developing use patterns for each compound, together with appropriate emission factors (based on the results presented above) and data on the properties of each of the compounds. The data upon which the analysis is based are the usage of each compound by application. More details on the method can be found in the source document (EC, 2003). Regional PECs for fresh water are summarized in Table 16. 

NIR region (see Chapter 9.13), complexes of 1,2-dithiolene (DT) and related ligands have attracted considerable attention for their (largely cubic) NLO properties. The complex (156) (a.k.a. BDN) is a highly photochemically stable, saturable absorber and has hence found extensive applications in laser Q-switching. The cubic NLO properties of (156) have been studied by DFWM148,403-407 and more recently, Z-scan.408 Time-resolved DFWM has been applied to square planar Co, Ni, Cu, or Pt complexes of 1,2-benzenedithiolate (BDT) or 1,2-aminobenzenethiolate ligands by Lindle and co-workers.409,410...
