Unprecedented isolation of a dinuclear tin (II) complex stabilized by pyridine‐2,6‐dimethanol: structure, DFT and in vitro screening of cytotoxic properties

In this work, we report a novel dinuclear Sn (II) complex, [Sn 2 (Hpdm) 2 (H 2 O) 6 ] 2H 2 O 2Cl ( 1 ) (H 2 pdm = pyridine‐2,6‐dimethanol), which has been crystallized out and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, 1 H and 13 C NMR, single crystal X‐ray studies and Density Functional Theory (DFT) analysis. X‐ray structure of 1 has confirmed it to be a dinuclear alkoxo‐bridged Sn (II) species where each metal adopts a seven coordinate...
