Triphenyltin chloride is an organotin compound with formula Sn(C6H5)3Cl. It is a colourless solid that dissolves in organic solvents and slowly reacts with water.
The main use for this compound is as a fungicide and antifoulant. [1] Triphenyl tin chloride is used as a chemosterilant. Triphenyl tins used as an antifeedants against potato cutworm.
In chemical analysis, triphenyltin chloride is used to derivatize metal carbonyl anions. [2]
Triphenyltin chloride is as toxic as hydrogen cyanide. [3] It also caused detrimental effects on body weight, testicular size and structure, and decreased fertility in Holtzmann rats. [4]
