Synthesis, characterization, antibacterial, and cytotoxic activities of organotin(IV) complexes derived from N(4)-cyclohexylthiosemicarbazone: X-ray crystal structure of [Ph₂SnCl(L)]

Reaction of organotin(IV) chloride(s) with 2-benzoylpyridine-N(4)-cyclohexylthiosemicarbazone, [HL] (1) yielded [MeSnCl2(L)] (2), [BuSnCl2(L)] (3), [Me2SnCl(L)] (4), and [Ph2SnCl(L)] (5). The ligand (1) and its organotin(IV) complexes have been characterized by CHN analyses, molar conductivity, UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1H, 13C, and 119Sn NMR spectral studies. The molecular structure of 5 was also determined by X-ray diffraction. There are two independent...
