The speciation of several triphenyltin compounds, i.e. triphenyltin hydroxide, acetate, chloride and fluoride, was studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy in both anaerobic and aerobic estuarine sediments. The results indicated that triphenyltin hydroxide and acetate were converted to the triphenyltin cation, the species that interacts with the sediments. However, both triphenyltin fluoride and chloride remained in their molecular form in their interaction with the sediments.
