Synthesis, characterization, biological screenings and interaction with calf thymus DNA as well as electrochemical studies of adducts formed by azomethine [2-((3,5-dimethylphenylimino)methyl)phenol] and organotin(IV) chlorides

Novel azomethine adducts of Sn(IV) have been synthesized by the reaction of RnSnCl4−n (n = 1–3, R = CH3, n-C4H9, C6H5, C6H11) with 2-((3,5-dimethylphenylimino)methyl)phenol (HL). The products were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H, 13C and 119Sn NMR spectroscopy. Triphenyltin(IV) chloride [2-((3,5-dimethylphenylimino)methyl)phenol] (3) was also characterized by single crystal analysis. Spectroscopic and crystal data suggest that in...
