Abstract The effect of several extraction variables such as acid concentration and strength (e.g. for HCl and HOAc), the presence of complexing agents (e.g. tropolone, sodium diethyldithiocarbamate) in the extracting mixture, solvent polarity (e.g. hexane, toluene) and sonication time for native butyl‐ and phenyl‐tin compounds from sediment was evaluated. A toluene–HOAc mixture (10:4) yields the highest extraction efficiency for all the analytes and minimizes the degradation of trialkyl‐ and triaryl‐tins during the extraction under sonication. In addition, losses of underivatized monobutyltin and monophenyltin were minimized in several steps of the analytical procedure. The analytical procedure developed was validated against existing CRMs for butyltin determination. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
