A new method for the speciation of butyltin compounds by solid phase extraction and direct injection using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is described. The compounds were complexed with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate and retained on a C60 sorbent column. The neutral chelates of butyltin compounds were eluted with ethyl acetate containing NaBPr4 as derivatising reagent. The main analytical figures of merit of the proposed method for 10 ml of sample are: linear range 0.2-35 ng/g expressed as Sn; limits of detection, 0.07, 0.09 and 0.10 ng/g as Sn for monobutyltin, dibutyltin and tributyltin, respectively. No interferences from metal ions such as Zn2+, Fe3+, Sb3t, Pb2+, Ni2+ and Mn2+ were observed in the determination of organotin compounds. The validation of method was performed out by the analysis of a standard reference sediment (CRM 462). The method was also applied to the determination of butyltin compounds in marine sediment samples.

Article Synopsis
  • Diorganotin complexes with various compositions were synthesized by reacting organotin oxides with a specific ligand in toluene, and a mono-n-butyltin complex was prepared using acetonitrile.
  • These complexes were characterized through techniques like FT-IR, NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction, revealing their coordinated structures and forms.
  • The antitumor activities of the first five complexes were tested on T-47D breast cancer cells, with compound 3 showing the highest effectiveness and potential for selective toxicity, positioning it as a promising candidate for breast cancer treatment.

Surface sediments collected in 2021 from six locations in the southern Baltic Sea (Polish district) were examined by chemical and toxicological methods. Chemical analyses included polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and their alkylated derivatives, butyltin compounds and 16 major and trace elements. The toxicity was measured using Ostracodtoxkit F and Microtox.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study focuses on the -butyltin-oxo cage with bulky tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate anions, which absorb a significant amount of EUV radiation and exhibit distinct behaviors upon irradiation.
  • * Unlike typical tin-oxo cage resists that demonstrate negative-tone behavior, this study finds that the TinPFPB complex can induce positive-tone development upon low-dose EUV exposure, attributed to chemical modifications from the borate anion fragments.

Studies of Anticancer Activities In Vitro and In Vivo for Butyltin(IV)-Iridium(III) Imidazole-Phenanthroline Complexes with Aggregation-Induced Emission Properties.

Organotin(IV) and iridium(III) complexes have shown good application potential in the field of anticancer; however, the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect induced by high concentration or dose has limited the research on their targeting and anticancer mechanism. Then, a series of aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-activated butyltin(IV)-iridium(III) imidazole-phenanthroline complexes were prepared in this study. Complexes exhibited significant fluorescence improvement in the aggregated state because of the restricted intramolecular rotation (RIR), accompanied by an absolute fluorescence quantum yield of up to 29.

Background: Exposure to obesogenic chemicals has been reported to result in enhanced adipogenesis, higher adipose tissue accumulation, and reduced ovarian hormonal synthesis and follicular function. We have reported that organotins [tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin (TPT)] dysregulate cholesterol trafficking in ovarian theca cells, but, whether organotins also exert lipogenic effects on ovarian cells remains unexplored.

Objective: We investigated if environmentally relevant exposures to organotins [TBT, TPT, or dibutyltin (DBT)] induce lipid dysregulation in ovarian theca cells and the role of the liver X receptor (LXR) in this effect.
