Preparation and structural studies on dibutyltin(IV) complexes with pyridine mono- and dicarboxylic acids

A number of organotin(IV) complexes with pyridine mono- and dicarboxylic acids (containing ligating -COOH group(s) and aromatic {N} atoms) were prepared in the solid state. The bonding sites of the ligands were determined by means of FT-IR spectroscopic measurements. It was found that in most cases the -COO⁻ groups form bridges between two central {Sn} atoms, thereby leading to polymeric (oligomeric) complexes. On this basis, the experimental ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer spectroscopic data were treated with partial quadrupole splitting approximations. The calculations predicted the existence of complexes with octahedral (oh) and trigonal-bipyramidal (tbp) structures, but the formation of complexes with pentagonal-bipyramidal (pbp) structures could not be ruled out. Single-crystals of 2-picolinic and pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid Bu₂Sn(IV)²⁺ complexes were obtained. The X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the central {Sn} atoms are in a pbp environment with bond distances characteristic of organotin(IV) compounds. The two butyl groups are located in axial positions. ¹¹⁹Sn NMR measurements in dmso solution and in the solid state indicated that the polymeric structures of the complexes are not retained in solution. The results of the solid-state ¹¹⁹Sn NMR measurements for compounds 1a, 2a and 6a are in agreement with the structures predicted by Mössbauer spectroscopy and revealed by X-ray diffraction.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of new complexes of di- and tribenzyltin 2-amino-1-cyclopentene-1-carbodithioates

Treatment of dibenzyltin dichloride with 1 equiv. of 2-amino-1-cyclopentene-1-carbodithioic acid (ACDA) gave Bz₂SnCl(ACDA) (1) that contains five coordinate tin. Reaction of 2 equiv. of ammonium 2-amino-1-cyclopentene-1-carbodithioic acid (AACD) with Bz₂SnCl₂ and then recrystallization from THF produced Bz₂Sn(ACDA)₂ · THF 2 in which the coordination geometry around the Sn is highly distorted from octahedral. Bz₃Sn(ACDA) (3) was obtained from reaction of Bz₃SnCl with 1 equiv. of AACD. The crystal structure of 3 indicates a Sn-S′ interaction [3.0823(5) Å] that distorts the tin coordination geometry from that of an ideal tetrahedron. In 1-3 the tin atom is also coordinated to one carbon atom of each benzyl group. The products were characterized by IR and NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) spectroscopy and elemental analysis.     

Two conformers in the solid state for a novel organotin(IV) complex of a phosphoramidate: Syntheses, spectroscopic study and crystal structures of several new organotin(IV) complexes of N-benzoylphosphoric triamides

Several novel organotin(IV) complexes with formula SnCl₂(CH₃)₂(X)₂, X = C₆H₅C(O)NHP(O)(NC₄H₈)₂ (1), C₆H₅C(O)NHP(O)(NC₅H₁₀)₂ (2), C₆H₅C(O)NHP(O)[N(CH₃)(C₆H₁₁)]₂ (3), C₆H₅C(O)NHP(O)[NH-C(CH₃)₃]₂ (4) were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures have been determined for each of the four compounds. Compound 1 exists in the form of two symmetrically independent molecules in the crystalline state due to differences in their similar torsion angles. In all of the four structures there are intramolecular -Sn-Cl?H-N- hydrogen bonds, in addition to weak C-H?O and C-H?Cl hydrogen bonds. Both ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra show the coupling of ^119/117Sn nuclei with methyl proton and carbon atoms. The δ(³¹P) of these complexes are in upfields with respect to their corresponding reported ligands. The spectroscopic and structural properties of these complexes were compared with those corresponding ligands.     

Synthesis and characterization of chlorodiorganotin(IV) derivatives of O,O-alkylene dithiophosphates

The O,O-alkylene dithiophosphates of chlorodiorganotin(IV), (where R = Me, G =–CMe₂CMe₂–; R = Me, Bu; G =–CH₂CMe₂CH₂–, and R = Me, Bu, Ph; G =–CHMeCH₂CMe₂–) have been synthesized by reactions of diorganotindichloride with the ammonium salts of O,O-alkylene dithiophosphates in 1 : 1 molar ratio in benzene. These compounds have been characterized by IR, ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy. Unlike triorganotin derivatives, the ligand is bidentate in these derivatives.     

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of new organotin(IV) complexes with bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)dithioacetate

New organotin(IV) derivatives containing the anionic ligand bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)dithioacetate [L₂CS₂]^? have been synthesized by reaction of SnR _n X_{4? n} (R?=?Me, Ph, ⁿ Bu or Cy; n?=?1–3) acceptors and Li[L₂CS₂]. Mononuclear complexes of the type [L₂CS₂]R _n SnCl_{4? n ?1}} have been obtained and fully characterized by elemental analyses and FT-IR in the solid state, and by NMR (¹H and ¹¹⁹Sn) spectroscopy, conductivity measurements and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) in solution. ESI-MS spectra of methanol solutions of diorganotin derivatives, recorded with fragmentor potentials of 0, 50, 100 and 150?V, show the occurrence at 150?V of peaks attributable to the loss of the CS₂ group from the ligands and the formation of stable tetraorganodistannoxane species.     

Organotin esterification of (E)-3-(3-fluoro-phenyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-propenoic acid: synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and in vitro biological activities. Crystal structure of [Ph3Sn(OC(O)C(4-ClC6H4) = CH(3-FC6H4))]

Nine organotin esters, Me₂SnL₂1, Me₃SnL 2, n-Bu₂SnL₂3, n-Bu₃SnL 4, Ph₃SnL 5, (PhCH₂)₂SnL₂6, [(Me₂SnL)₂O]₂7, Et₂SnL₂8 and n-Oct₂SnL₂9, of (E)-3-(3-fluorophenyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-propenoic acid, HL have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, Multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn) and mass spectrometry. The geometry around the tin atom has been deduced and compared both in solution and solid states. The crystal structure of compound 5 has been determined by X-ray single crystal analysis, which shows a tetrahedral geometry around the tin atom with space group . These compounds have also been screened for bactericidal, fungicidal activities and cytotoxicity data.     

New organotin(IV) complexes of nicotinamide, isonicotinamide and some of their novel phosphoric triamide derivatives: Syntheses, spectroscopic study and crystal structures

Three novel phosphoramidate ligands with formula , R = Nicotinamide(nia), R′ = NHC(CH₃)₃(L₁), NH(C₆H₁₁) (L₂); R = isonicotinamide(iso), NH(C₆H₁₁) (L₃) and their new organotin(IV) complexes with formula SnCl₂(CH₃)₂(X)₂, X = L₁ (C₁), L₂ (C₂), L₃ (C₃) plus SnCl₂(CH₃)₂(L₄)₂(C₄), L₄ = isoP(O)[NHC(CH₃)₃]₂, were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P,¹¹⁹Sn NMR, IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Two novel complexes of nia and iso with formula SnCl₂(CH₃)₂(X)₂, X = nia (C₅), iso (C₆) were also prepared and all the complexes were spectroscopically studied in comparison to their related ligands and to each other. The crystal structure of complexes C₁, C₃, C₄, and C₅ were determined by X-ray crystallography. -Sn-Cl···H-N- major hydrogen bonds beside other electrostatic interactions produced a three dimensional polymeric cluster in the crystalline lattice of C₁, C₃, C₅ and a two dimensional polymeric chain in C₄. Results showed that coordination of the phosphoramidate ligand (L₄) to Sn in C₄ has been occurred from the nitrogen site of the pyridine ring similar to C_5,C₆ in which there is no PO donor site; however, in C₁ and C₃ the active donor site of corresponding ligands is PO. It seems that in these complexes there is a competition between PO and N_pyridine donor sites and the influential factor which determines the winner site is the type of substituents on phosphorus atom.     

The chemistry,properties, and characterization of organotin(IV) complexes of 2-(N-naphthylamido)benzoic acid

2-(N-naphthylamido)benzoic acid was synthesized by the reaction of phthalic anhydride with naphthylamine in glacial acetic acid at room temperature. Complexes 1–9 were synthesized under reflux in good yield with general formula R_{4? n} SnL _n (R = Me, n-Bu, Ph, n-Oct, Bz and n = 2, 3), which were studied by microanalysis, IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn), and mass spectrometry. Cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds was checked against Brine-shrimp larvae. In vitro activities against some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi were also determined. Antimicrobial activities show that species with tetrahedral geometry in solution are more toxic.     

Preparation and structural studies on the Bu2Sn(IV) complexes with aromatic mono- and dicarboxylic acids containing hetero {N} donor atom

Nine complexes of ^tBu₂Sn(IV)²⁺ were obtained in the solid state with ligands containing -COOH group(s) and aromatic {N} donor atom. The binding sites of the ligands were identified by FT-IR spectroscopic measurements. It was found that in most cases the -COO⁻ groups are co-ordinated in monodentate manner. Nevertheless, in some of our complexes, the -COO⁻ group forms bridges between two central {Sn} atoms resulting in the formation of an oligomeric structure, a motif that is characteristic only to the nicotinate compound. These pieces of information and the rationalisation of the experimental ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer nuclear quadrupole splittings, Δ, - according to the point charge model formalism - support the formation of octahedral (O_h) or trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) molecular structures. The X-ray diffraction analysis of one complex obtained as single crystal revealed the distortion of the TBP geometry towards square pyramidal (SP) one. This was rationalised by PM3 molecular modelling of the ^tBu₂Sn(pdc) complex. In the asymmetric unit, the two chemically similar but symmetry independent molecules form pseudo-dimers, in which the Sn?Sn separation amounts to ca. 6.4 Å. The crystal lattice is stabilised by C-H?O hydrogen bonding between individual molecules.     

Diorganotin(IV) complexes with furan-2-carbohydrazone derivatives: synthesis,characterization, crystal structure and antibacterial activity

Four new diorganotin(IV) complexes, R₂SnL (L?=?L^a: R?=?Me 1, Ph 2; L?=?L^b: R?=?Me 3, and Ph 4), have been synthesized by reaction of hydrazone ONO donors, 5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde furan-2-carbohydrazone (H₂L^a) and 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde furan-2-carbohydrazone (H₂L^b) with diorganotin(IV) dichloride in the presence of a base. The compounds have been investigated by elemental analysis and IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopies. Spectroscopic studies show that the hydrazone is a tridentate dianionic ligand, coordinating via the imine nitrogen and phenolic and enolic oxygens. The structures of H₂L^b and 3 have also been confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The results show that the structure of 3 is a distorted square pyramid with imine nitrogen in apical position. The in vitro antibacterial activities of ligands and complexes have been evaluated against gram-positive (Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria. H₂L^a and H₂L^b show no activity but the diphenyltin(IV) complexes exhibit good activities towards two bacterial strains in comparison with standard bacterial drugs.     

New di- and triorganotin(IV) complexes of tripodal Schiff base ligand containing three imidazole arms: Synthesis, structural characterization, anti-inflammatory activity and thermal studies

Some new tri- and diorganotin(IV) complexes of the general formula, R₃Sn(H₂L) and R′₂Sn(HL) [where R = Me, n-Pr, n-Bu and Ph; R′ = Me, n-Bu, Ph and n-Oct; H₃L = Schiff base (abbreviated as tren(4-Me-5-ImH)₃) derived from condensation of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) and 4-methyl-5-imidazolecarboxaldehyde (4-Me-5-ImH)] have been synthesized. The coordination behaviour of Schiff base towards organotin(IV) moieties is discussed on the basis of infrared and far-infrared, ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer and multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn) magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic studies. Thermal studies of all of the synthesized organotin(IV) complexes have been carried out using TG, DTG and DTA techniques. The residues thus obtained from pyrolysis of the studied complexes have been characterized by X-ray powder diffraction analysis and IR. The newly synthesized complexes have been tested for their anti-inflammatory activity and toxicity (LD₅₀).     

Synthesis,characterization, semi-empirical study and biological activities of homobimetallic complexes of tranexamic acid with organotin(IV)

The Schiff base has been synthesized by reacting tranexamic acid with indol-3-carboxyaldehyde in the first step and then with carbon disulfide at room temperature in the second step. The homobimetallic complexes have been synthesized by reaction of Schiff base with R₂SnCl₂ and R₃SnCl in 1?:?2?M ratio under stirring, where R?=?methyl, n-butyl and phenyl. The ligand and complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn) and semi-empirical study. IR data reveal the bidentate nature of the ligand. Five- or six-coordinate geometry was confirmed in solution by NMR spectroscopy. The homobimetallic complexes and ligand were tested in vitro against some pathogenic bacteria and fungi to assess their antimicrobial properties. The complexes show biological activities with few exceptions.     

Polymeric seven-coordinated organotin(IV) complexes derived from 5-amino-2-chlorobenzoic acid and in vitro anti-cancer studies

Cancer cases are alarmingly increasing worldwide, and newer chemotherapeutic agents are needed. Recent analogs of cisplatin (carboplatin, lobaplatin, nedaplatin and oxaliplatin) and their marketing as advanced chemotherapeutic drugs have furthered the interest in metal-based anti-cancer drugs. In the current study, two new polymeric organotin(IV) carboxylate complexes (1 and 2) have been synthesized and characterized. Spectroscopic studies showed that coordination took place via carboxylates. Furthermore, X-ray crystallographic study on 1 indicated that it possesses a monomeric structure and exists in polymeric formation due to additional Sn–N coordination, assigning seven coordinations to each metal ion. Both the complexes were tested against three cancerous (human colon cancer, HCT 116; breast cancer, MCF-7; and leukemia, K562) and one non-cancerous (3T3-L1) cell lines. Complex 1 showed exceptional cytotoxicity against cancerous cell lines (IC₅₀ = 1.0 μM for HCT 116; 258.7 nM for MCF-7; and 46.7 nM K562) and remained comparatively non-toxic against normal cells (IC₅₀ = 37.0?μM). This shows that both complexes have selective cytotoxicity against cancer cells.     

Synthesis,characterization and antimicrobial activities of triorganotin(IV) complexes with azo-azomethine carboxylate ligands: crystal structure of a tributyltin(IV) and a trimethyltin(IV) complex

Triorganotin(IV) complexes with polyaromatic azo-azomethine carboxylate ligands viz. 2-{4-hydroxy-3-[(2/4-hydroxyphenylimino)methyl]phenylazo}benzoic acids [H₃L¹/H₃L²] were synthesized by reacting the ligands with either bis-tri-n-butyltin(IV) oxide (for 1 and 4) or trimethyltin(IV) chloride in presence of triethylamine (for 2 and 5) or triphenyltin(IV) hydroxide (for 3 and 6). The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, UV, IR, NMR, and mass spectrometry. NMR spectroscopic studies of the compounds suggested that the complexes adopt four-coordinate tetrahedral geometry around tin in solution. Molecular structures of 1 and 2 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both complexes have distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry around tin in the solid state. Compound 1 is a one-dimensional (1-D) double chain coordination polymer which can be described as two different 24- and 30-membered non-porous macrocyclic rings constructed from two tributyltin units and two ligand moieties. The structure of 2 comprises a discrete cyclic centrosymmetric dimer with two lattice water molecules per formula unit. In the dimer, two trimethyltin entities are bridged by two ligand moieties. The dimers are further interconnected with lattice water molecules by multiple O–H?O hydrogen bonds to form a 1-D H-bonded network. The complexes were also screened for their antimicrobial activities.     

Syntheses, characterization and crystal structures of di- and triorganotin (IV) derivatives with 6-amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dithiol

A series of organotin (IV) complexes with 6-amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dithiol of the type [(R_nSnCl_4−n)₂ (C₃H₂N₄S₂)] (n = 3: R = Me 1, n-Bu 2, PhCH₂3, Ph 4; n = 2: R = Me 5, n-Bu 6, PhCH₂7, Ph 8) have been synthesized. All the complexes 1-8 have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. Among them complexes 1, 4, 5 and 8 have also been characterized by X-ray crystallography diffraction analyses, which revealed that the tin atoms of complexes 1, 4, 5 and 8 are all five-coordinated with distorted trigonal bipyramid geometries.     

Preparation and structural characterization of organotin(IV) complexes with ligands containing a hetero {N} atom and a hydroxy group or hydroxy and carboxyl groups

Twenty-two n-butyltin(IV) and t-butyltin(IV) complexes of ligands containing an -OH (-CO) group or -OH and -COOH groups and an aromatic {N} donor atom were prepared by metathetical reactions. On the basis of the FT-IR and Mössbauer spectroscopic data, molecular structures were assigned to these compounds. The binding sites of the ligands were identified by means of FT-IR spectroscopic measurements, and it was found that in most cases the organotin(IV) moiety reacts with the phenolic form of these ligands. In the complexes with -OH and -COOH functions, the -COOH group is coordinated to the organotin(IV) centres in a monodentate manner. The ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer and the FT-IR studies support the formation of trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) and octahedral (O_h) molecular structures. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction analysis has been performed on the n-butyltin(IV)- and t-butyltin(IV)-8-quinol 8-olato-O,N single crystals. The hexacoordinated tin centres exhibit cis-octahedral geometry in both complexes.     

New organotin(IV) complexes with N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazone derivatives prepared from 2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde: synthesis,characterization, and cytotoxic activity

Abstract

The N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazone derivatives H₂DDMT (1) and H₂DMMT (2) have been prepared from the reaction of 4-methylthiosemicarbazide with 2,3-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde, respectively. Six new organotin(IV) complexes, [MeSnCl(DDMT)] (3), [BuSnCl(DDMT)] (4), [PhSnCl(DDMT)] (5), [MeSnCl(DMMT)] (6), [BuSnCl(DMMT)] (7), and [PhSnCl(DMMT)] (8) have been synthesized by direct reaction of corresponding organotin(IV) chloride(s) with these ligands. The ligands and their compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, UV–Vis, FT-IR, and NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn) spectroscopy. The molecular structures of 1 and 2 were determined by X-ray crystallography. Spectroscopic data suggested that the ligands were coordinated to tin(IV) as dinegative tridentate via phenoxide-O, azomethine-N, and thiolate-S atoms. The crystal structures revealed that the ligands exist in thione form in the solid state. In vitro cytotoxicity assays were carried out for all the compounds against MCF-7 cancer cell line. The results have shown that different organotin(IV) groups showed characteristic differences in their biological activity.
