Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, crystal structure, and biological evaluation of a diorganotin(IV) complex with 2-acetylpyridine N⁴-cyclohexylthiosemicarbazone

The diorganotin(IV) complex [Ph2Sn(L)(OAc)]·EtOH (1), where HL = 2-acetylpyridine N4-cyclohexyl thiosemicarbazone, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–vis, NMR, PL, and mass spectrometry. The crystal structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction method. Tin(IV) ion is coordinated by one L− anion through pyridine nitrogen, azomethine nitrogen and sulfur atom, two phenyl groups, and one OAc− anion through two...
