Abstract
Tris(4-chlorophenyl)methanol and tris(4-chlorophenyl)methane have been detected as microcontaminants in the marine environment since 1989 (Walker et al. 1989). Several abbreviations are used for these compounds, such as 4,4′,4″-TCP, TCP, TCPM, and TCPM-OH for tris(4-chlorophenyl)methanol and 4,4,′ 4″-TCPMe, TCPMe, and 4,4,′4″-TCPM for tris(4-chlorophenyl)methane. In this paper, the abbreviations TCPM and TCPMe are used. TCPM and TCPMe (Fig. 1) are structurally related to DDT and dicofol (l,l,l-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)methanol (Fig. 2).
