Diorganotin(IV) carboxylates of 3-methylphenyl ethanoic acid: Synthesis, crystal structure, antibacterial, anticancer and molecular docking studies

Di-n-butyl- (1) and diethyltin(IV) (2) derivatives of 3-methylphenylethanoic acid were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, atomic absorption, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The spectroscopic data and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies for complex 2 have confirmed a bidentate coordination mode of the carboxylate ligand and the presence of hexacoordinated tin atoms in the complexes. The complexes were...
