A factorial experimental design determined separate and combined effects of MeCoB 12 (methylcobalamin) and Me 2 Co(N 4 ) + (a methylcobalamin model) on methylation of Sn(II) and Pb(II) in sediment matrices. Total methyltin yields ranged from 1.4% to 3.2%, and total methyllead yields varied from 0.037% to 0.11%. No methylmetal products occurred in the absence of Me 2 Co(N 4 ) + .
