Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, X-ray structures, biological screenings, DNA interaction study and catalytic activity of organotin(IV) 3-(4-flourophenyl)-2-methylacrylic acid derivatives

A series of organotin(IV) carboxylate complexes [Me2SnL2] (1), [Bu2SnL2] (2), [Oct2SnL2] (3), [Me3SnL] (4), [Bu3SnL] (5) and [Ph3SnL] (6), where L = O2C(CH3)CCHC6H4F have been successfully synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, NMR (1H, 13C) and single crystal analysis. The ligand coordinates to tin atom via carboxylate group. Compound 1 and 4 have also been studied by single crystal XRD analysis. The synthesized compounds were screened for...
