General description

Sodium tetraethylborate (NaBEt4) is an air and moisture-sensitive pyrophoric organoboron compound. It is very reactive in the presence of certain organometallic species and is used as an ethyl transfer reagent.

Application

Sodium tetraethylborate can be used as a derivatizing agent in the GC-MS analyses of fenbutatin oxide and alkyl tin compounds.

Monobutyltin (MBuT), dibutyltin (DBuT), and tributyltin (TBuT) mixtures have been separated and quantified by gas chromatography with pulsed flame-photometric detection (GC-PFPD). The compounds were first derivatized with NaBEt4, then extracted with hexane and injected into the GC in splitless mode.

Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were modified with nanocellulose and are showed to be a useful sorbent for magnetic solid-phase extraction of mercury species. Speciation analysis was performed by using gas chromatography coupled to atomic fluorescence detection (GC-pyro-AFS). The magnetic properties of
