Biological Evaluation of Azo‐ and Imino‐Based Carboxylate Triphenyltin(IV) Compounds

Azo (‐N=N‐)‐ and imino (‐C=N‐)‐carboxylate triphenyltin(IV) compounds, which are well known for their promising biological activities, are usually synthesized by reacting a triphenyltin(IV) compound (oxide, hydroxide or chloride) with a suitably substituted carboxylic acid, under appropriate conditions. Their biological properties are influenced by the type/position of the functional azo or imino group in the carboxylate ligand skeleton. They...
