An overview of the principal groups of organotin compounds and their interconversions is given in Scheme 1-1, which deals mainly with tin(IV) compounds, and Schemes 1-2 and 1-3 which cover compounds related to tin(III) and tin(II) species, respectively. It... 

The present overview starts with early historical developments. The Pd-catalyzed reaction of organotin compounds was first published by Eabom s group in 1976 (Scheme It was initially considered as a variation of the Kharasch-type reaction, namely, radical reaction. 

In this overview, we have limited our discussion to the speciation of four important organometals, each presenting specific analytical features, in environmental samples organomer-cury, organoarsenical, organotin, and organolead compounds. Their uses, presence in the environment, toxicity and threat to human health are also briefly discussed.
