Notes:
The methylation of tin(II) chloride by methyl iodide in porewater and formation of monomethyltin as the only methyltin product are described. A factorial experiment tested the effects of concentrations of tin(II), methyl iodide, and oxygen on monomethyltin yields. The experiments gave 0.18 to 12.8 % yield. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) calculations showed that all three variables were significant at the 95 % level. Comparison of yields in aqueous 23 g kg-1 sodium chloride solutions to those in porewater and to those containing fulvic acid, salicylic acid, and EDTA showed that only fulvic acid significantly reduced yields. Reasons for this observation are discussed and the findings in the model system are related to methylation of tin compounds in sediments.
