The speciation of organotin(IV) cations in natural waters, in sewage or in biofluids is strongly influenced by the complex formation with the available metal-binding compounds, i.e., both high and low molecular weight ligands of biological and environmental interest. The primary intention of this chapter is to discuss the aquatic solution chemistry of organotin cations and their complexes formed with low and high molecular weight bioligands. Besides, some synthetic aspects, applications and sources of organotin pollution, their destinations in the environment, and toxicology will be also shortly discussed.
