Inorganic arsenic and its compounds, upon entering the food chain, are progressively metabolized through a process of methylation. [ 128 ] [ 129 ] For example, the mold Scopulariopsis brevicaulis produces trimethylarsine if inorganic arsenic is present. [ 130 ]
Organotin chemistry is the scientific study of the synthesis and properties of organotin compounds or stannanes, which are organometallic compounds containing tin–carbon bonds. The first organotin compound was diethyltin diiodide ( (CH 3 CH 2 ) 2 SnI 2 ), discovered by Edward Frankland in 1849. [ 1 ]
Tributyltin (TBT) is an umbrella term for a class of organotin compounds which contain the (C 4 H 9) 3 Sn group, with a prominent example being tributyltin oxide. [1] For 40 years TBT was used as a biocide in anti-fouling paint , commonly known as bottom paint , applied to the hulls of oceangoing vessels. [ 2 ]
A study showed that 99.5% of the controlled food cans contain tin in an amount below that level. [4] However, un-lacquered tin cans with food of a low pH, such as fruits and pickled vegetables, can contain elevated concentrations of tin. [2] The toxic effects of tin compounds are based on its interference with iron and copper metabolism.
Illustrating the routes to such compounds, chlorine reacts with tin metal to give SnCl 4 whereas the reaction of hydrochloric acid and tin produces SnCl 2 and hydrogen gas. Alternatively SnCl 4 and Sn combine to stannous chloride by a process called comproportionation : [ 47 ]
Tin compounds are alloys and mixtures that contain the chemical element tin. Subcategories. This category has the following 6 subcategories, out of 6 total. ...
A solution of tin(II) chloride containing a little hydrochloric acid is used for the tin-plating of steel, in order to make tin cans. An electric potential is applied, and tin metal is formed at the cathode via electrolysis. Tin(II) chloride is used as a mordant in textile dyeing because it gives brighter colours with some dyes e.g. cochineal ...
Organochlorine chemistry is concerned with the properties of organochlorine compounds, or organochlorides, organic compounds that contain one or more carbon–chlorine bonds. [1] The chloroalkane class (alkanes with one or more hydrogens substituted by chlorine) includes common examples. The wide structural variety and divergent chemical ...
