The previously known insoluble trimethyltin acetate has been converted to a new, soluble form by heating in a sealed tube with cyclohexane at 100 °C. The effects of temperature, concentration, and added complexing agents on the infrared and NMR spectra are reported. The results show an equilibrium in solution between monomeric and polymeric forms. It is suggested that the polymeric forms may have a cyclic structure, in contrast to the infinite linear polymeric structure attributed to the insoluble form.[4]

Uses

Trimethyltin acetate shows low antifungal activity.[5]

Safety

Triorganyltin compounds, like trimethyltin acetate, are poisonous. They are highly toxic if swallowed and harmful in contact with skin. Cause serious skin and eye irritation. They can cause serious eye damage. Cause serious damages to organs and nerves. They are highly toxic to aquatic life, with long-lasting effects.[6][7]
