2-Phenylbutyric acid based organotin(IV) carboxylates; synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, antibacterial action against plant pathogens and in vitro hemolysis

2-Phenylbutyric acid based four organotin (IV) complexes were prepared with general formula R3SnL/R2SnL2, where R = methyl (1), butyl (2), octyl (3) and L = 2-phenylbutyrate. The 2-phenyl butyrate coordinates to the tin atom via carboxylate group as evidenced by FT-IR and 13C NMR data. Moreover, skew-trapezoidal bipyramidal geometry was observed for complex 3 by single crystal X-ray diffraction data. The prepared complexes were evaluated for...
