Catalytic, biological and DNA binding studies of organotin(IV) carboxylates of 3-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-methylacrylic acid: Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and X-ray structure analysis

A new series of organotin(IV) carboxylates [Me2SnL2] (1), [Bu2SnL2] (2), [Oct2SnL2] (3), [Me3SnL] (4), [Bu3SnL] (5) and [Ph3SnL] (6), where L = 3-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-methylacrylate have been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, CHNS and NMR (1H, 13C). The crystal structures of complexes (1) and (4) were also analyzed by single crystal X-ray analysis. The complex (1) adopted distorted octahedral geometry while complex (4) exhibited distorted...
