Abstract
Organotin(IV) compounds include a variety of organometallic moieties characterized by a central tin atom covalently bonded to various organic groups (methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, octyl, phenyl, etc.) through one or more carbon atoms. Their general formula can be indicated as R n SnX(4−n) (R = organic group; X = halide, nitrate, acetate, hydroxide, etc.; n =1 to 4). Because the tin-carbon bond is reported to be stable up to 200 °C (Zuckerman et al. 1978), these compounds must be considered thermally stable under environmental conditions. Some factors, such as ultraviolet (UV) and gamma (Y) irradiation and biological and chemical cleavage, influence the degradation of organotin compounds by a progressive removing of organic groups, according to the following scheme:
