The complexes of two organic carboxylates (containing O,O}-donor atoms) with (Me2SnCl2)-Cl-(IV), n-(Bu2SnCl2)-Cl-(IV), Bz(2)Sn((IV))Cl(2), Oct(2)Sn((IV))O, (Me3SnCl)-Cl-(IV), n-(Bu3SnCl)-Cl-(IV), (Ph3SnCl)-Cl-(IV), and Bz(3)Sn((I8V))Cl having ligand-to-metal ratios of I : 2 and I : I were prepared by two different methods. The FT-IR spectra clearly demonstrated that organotin(IV) moieties react with O,O}-atoms of the ligands. It was found that in all cases the COO- group was acting as bidentate in the solid state. The 1 Sn-119 NMR data revealed that the organotin(IV) moiety has a tetrahedral geometry in non-coordinating solvents. The biological activity of these compounds was compared with that of their precursors, and all the synthesized compounds show significant antibacterial activity. The antifungal activity of the complexes against six plant pathogens has been estimated. The complexes display marked toxicity against these fungi and are more fungitoxic than free acids. The compounds have also shown significant cytotoxicity against Brine Shrimp (Artemia salina).
