Butyltin(IV) 2-sulfobenzoates: Synthesis, structural characterization and their cytostatic and antibacterial activities

Three butyltin complexes with 2-sulfobenzoic acid [Sn(C4H9)2{O3SC6H4COO-2}(H2O)]·(C2H5OH) (1), [Sn(C4H9)3{O3SC6H4COOH-2}] (2) and [Sn2(C4H9)6{μ-O3SC6H4COO-2}] (3) have been synthesized and characterized by IR and 1H, 13C and 119Sn NMR spectra. They show interesting properties in solid state and solutions because there are many modes of coordination of the Sbz ligand. The structure of complex 1 has been determined by X-ray crystallography. It is...
