Mono-organotin species

The characters used here correspond to the synthetic scheme in the introduction to Chapter. . 2.2, mono-organotin species are substituted for the diorganotin entities in the appropriate places. 

Lakata et al. [18] investigated the suitability of HPLC methods for the trace speciation of a broad range of organotin compounds. The ability of both normal-phase and reverse-phase systems to resolve mixtures of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetraorganotin compounds was studied. Oxine was used in each mobile phase to aid the elution of the organotin species, and also to permit sensitive detection of each analyte using the absorbance... 

Formation constants for complex species of mono-, di-, and trialkytin(rV) cations with some nucleotide-5 -monophosphates (AMP, LIMP, IMP, and GMP) are reported by De Stefano et al. The investigation was performed in the light of speciation of organometallic compounds in natural fluids (I = 0.16-1 moldm ). As expected, owing to the strong tendency of organotin(IV) cations to hydrolysis (as already was pointed above) in aqueous solution, the main species formed in the pH-range of interest of natural fluids are the hydrolytic ones. ...
