Triethyltin chloride, with the CAS number 994-31-0, is an organotin compound characterized by its triethyltin group attached to a chloride ion. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its high toxicity and potential environmental hazards. The compound is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Triethyltin chloride is primarily used in various industrial applications, including as a biocide, antifouling agent in marine paints, and in the synthesis of other organotin compounds. Its chemical structure allows it to interact with biological systems, leading to significant ecological concerns, particularly regarding its persistence and bioaccumulation in aquatic environments. Due to its toxicological profile, handling triethyltin chloride requires strict safety precautions to minimize exposure and environmental impact. Regulatory measures often govern its use, reflecting the need for careful management of organotin compounds to mitigate their adverse effects on human health and ecosystems.

Chlorotriethylstannane is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CHClSn. It is an organotin compound that is used in analytical chemistry as a reagent for the quantitative determination of chloride, water vapor and fatty acids in organic solvents. Chlorotriethylstannane has been shown to have hemolytic activity, which may be due to its ability to react with p-hydroxybenzoic acid and form ester hydrochloride. The reaction mechanism is thought to involve trimethyltin, which undergoes nucleophilic substitution at the carbon atom adjacent to chlorine. Chlorotriethylstannane can be detected by plasma mass spectrometry.
