Tropolone (Trop) forms in solution stable complexes with monobutyltin (MBT Trop 2 ) and dibutyltin (DBT Trop). This property has been used to develop a separation procedure of butyltin compounds by liquid chromatography on cyanopropyl‐bonded silica columns with a solution of tropolone in toluene as eluent. Tin‐specific detection by on‐line ETAA allowed the development of a simple procedure suitable for the determination of tributyltin and dibutyltin in water and sediment samples.
