Potential bioactive Vanillin–Schiff base di- and tri-organotin(IV) complexes of 4-((3,5-dimethylphenylimino)methyl)-2-methoxyphenol: synthesis, characterization and biological screenings

Eight different di- and triorganotin(IV) complexes of vanillin-Schiff base of the type R2SnClL and R3SnL [R = Me (1,6), n-Bu (2,7), Ph (3,8), tert-Bu (4), Cy (5) and L = 4-((3,5-dimethylphenylimino)methyl)-2-methoxyphenol] were synthesized. The products were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H, 13C and 119Sn NMR spectroscopy. The ligand 4-((3,5-dimethylphenylimino)methyl)-2-methoxyphenol is also characterized by single crystal X-ray...
