Spectroscopic and X-ray structural characterization of new organotin carboxylates and their in vitro antifungal activities

Deciphering mechanistic implications of antimicrobial and antioxidant potentials of certain new dibutyltin(IV) formulations as possible therapeutic options based on DFT and hybrid materials paradigm

Mechanistic implications of antimicrobial and in vitro antioxidant potentials of a set of newly generated nonbridged mononuclear N,O-orthometallated and carboxylate bridged binuclear nonorthometallated dibutyltin(IV) formulations have been investigated. Some of these formulations were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities against Escherichia coli and Candida albicans, respectively whereas in vitro antioxidant potential was examined by Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. Nonbridged mononuclear N,O-orthometallated dibutyltin(IV) formulations were generated by the reactions of Bu₂ SnCl₂ with sodium salts of 2-aminophenol/substituted 2-aminophenol and flexible N-protected amino acids in 1:1:1 molar ratio in refluxing dry THF. Plausible structures of these nonbridged mononuclear N,O-orthometallated dibutyltin(IV) formulations containing flexible N-protected amino acids have been suggested on the basis of spectroscopic and mass studies of some representative formulations. Plausible structures suggested on the basis of spectroscopic studies are corroborated by density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP method) (SPARTAN-20) investigation of a representative dibutyltin(IV) complex and the ligands involved in it. The presence of two different classes of organic ligands in this complex provides an opportunity to study optimized topologies, bonding, distortions, optimized energy, and stability of the complex.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Comparison of Disinfectant Bioactivity Test of Two Triphenyltin(IV) Compounds

This paper aims to report the synthesis of two new organotin(IV) carboxylate derivatives, triphenyltin(IV) 4-aminobenzoate (2) and triphenyltin(IV) 4-nitrobenzoate (3) and to examine their antibacterial activity as a disinfectant. These compounds were prepared by reacting triphenyltin(IV) hydroxide (1) with 4-aminobenzoic acid and 4-nitrobenzoic acid, respectively. Compound (2) was obtained as a yellow solid with a yield of 84.09% and compound (3) in the form of a white solid with a yield of 80.70%. These compounds were well characterized using UV-Vis spectrometry, FT-IR spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. The bioactivity test as a disinfectant was tested against Salmonella typhosa and Staphylococcus aureus. The activity test was carried out by measuring the optical density (OD) of the tested compounds with concentration variations of 5x10-3, 1x10-3, and 5x10-4 M in methanol and 5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), commercial Wipol (2.5% pine oil) was used as a positive control with observations monitored at contact times of 0, 5, 10, and 15 minutes. The results showed that of both compounds were active against the two bacteria compared to the positive control with compound 3 found to be more active than compound 2.

Review of 13carbon nuclear magnetic resonance characterizations of dimethyltin carboxylates

Diorganotin carboxylates have received much interest in past decades due to their rich structural chemistry and wide range of applications in various fields. This review study provides an in-depth analysis of carbon NMR data of dimethyltin complexes. The absorptions shown by the carbonyl carbon, methyl groups attached to tin and the other carbons present in the complexes were presented in this study. The effects of nature and the number of substituents attached are also described in this report.

Water stable fluorescent organotin(iv) compounds: aggregation induced emission enhancement and recognition of lead ions in an aqueous system

Water stable fluorescent organotin(iv) compounds are investigated for their structural aspects, aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) properties and ability to recognize lead ions in the aqueous medium.

Selective sensing of a Cu(ii) ion by organotin anchored keto-enamine ligands

New organotin carboxylates [{(n-Bu)₂Sn(HL)}₂O]₂ (1), [(t-Bu)₂Sn(HL)₂] (2) and [Ph₃Sn(HL)] (3) have been synthesized and used for sensing of Cu(ii) ion. Complex 3 shows highest binding constant and better limit of detection than other complexes.

Air and moisture stable covalently-bonded tin(ii) coordination polymers

Compounds (1)–(4) display 1D, 2D or 3D coordination networks, in which the Sn(ii) cations exhibit distorted disphenoidal geometries due to the stereochemically active electron lone pairs.
