Synthesis,characterization, semi-empirical study,and biological activities of organotin(IV) complexes with cyclohexylcarbamodithioic acid as biological active ligand

Cyclohexylcarbamodithioic acid has been synthesized by the reaction of cyclohexylamine with carbon disulfide at room temperature. Its complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of cyclohexylcarbamodithioic acid with organotin(IV) chlorides in 1?:?1/1?:?2 molar ratio. The ligand and complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR), and multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR spectroscopy. Elemental data show good agreement between calculated and found values of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur. IR data show that the ligand is bidentate and complexes exhibit a five-coordinate geometry in the solid state, which is also confirmed by semi-empirical studies. NMR data show that the complexes exhibit tetrahedral geometry in solution state. The ligand and its complexes were screened for their in vitro mutagenic, antimicrobial, MIC, antioxidant activities, and cytotoxicity. Biological screening data demonstrate that complexes show significant activity against various bacterial and fungal strains and are good antioxidants. The cytotoxicity data show positive lethality for complexes as compared to ligand and can play a very significant role in drug development.     

Synthesis,characterization, semi-empirical study,and biological activities of organotin(IV) and transition metal complexes with o-methyl carbonodithioate

Three transition metal and six organotin(IV) complexes have been synthesized by treating potassium o-methyl carbonodithioate with ZnCl₂/CdCl₂/HgCl₂ and R₂SnCl₂/R₃SnCl under stirring. The complexes were characterized by IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopies. IR results show that the ligand is bidentate in 1–3 while monodentate in 4–9, which is also confirmed by semi-empirical study. NMR data reveal four-coordinate geometry in solution. HOMO–LUMO study shows that 7 and 9 are thermodynamically unstable. The enzyme inhibition study shows that 1 is a potent inhibitor of ALP, EC 3.1.3.1, resulting in very slow rate of formation and breakdown of enzyme–substrate complex. UV/visible spectroscopy was used to assess the mode of interaction and binding of the complexes with DNA which shows that 9 exhibits higher binding constant when compared to 6. In protein kinase inhibition assay, 1 was active, while antifungal activity shows that organotin(IV) complexes are more active than transition metal complexes.     

Synthesis,characterization, biological activities,crystal structure and DNA binding of organotin(IV) 5-chlorosalicylates

New organotin(IV) carboxylates, R₂SnL₂ (R=n-Bu: 1), R₂Sn(Cl)L (R=n-Bu: 2), and R₃SnL (R=Me: 3; n-Bu: 4; Ph: 5) have been synthesized by stirring 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoic acid HL with KOH and R₂SnCl₂ (R=n-Bu)/R₃SnCl (R=Me, n-Bu, Ph) in methanol at room temperature. The complexes along with ligand have been characterized by FTIR, (¹H, ¹³C) NMR, EI-MS, and single-crystal XRD crystallography. FTIR data indicated bidentate coordination of carboxylate. NMR data suggested six- or five-coordinate geometry of organotin(IV) carboxylates. Single-crystal XRD of 1 demonstrated skew-trapezoidal geometry around the tin center, with the basal plane occupied by four oxygens and the two butyl groups lying in distorted axial position. Complexes 1, 2, and 5 exhibited interaction with SS-DNA (salmon sperm) and suggests intercalating mode of binding. The complexes displayed significant antimicrobial activities against bacterial and fungal strains as compared to free ligand. The hemolytic activity of the complexes was lower compared to Triton-X 100 (positive control, 100% lysis) and higher than phosphate-buffered saline (negative control, 0% lysis). Complex 4 was the most potent inhibitor of bacterial/fungal growth.     

Synthesis and coordination chemistry of organotin(IV) complexes of 2,3-methylenedioxyphenylpropenoic acid

The synthesis, spectroscopy, and antitumor behavior of organotin(IV) complexes of 2,3-methylenedioxyphenylpropenoic acid are described. The spectroscopic data indicate 1 : 2 and 1 : 1 metal to ligand stoichiometry in case of di- and trioganotin(IV) compounds and hypervalency of Sn(IV) in trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral modes. Mass spectrometric and elemental analysis data support the solid and solution spectroscopic results. The complexes have been evaluated in vitro against crown gall tumor and bio-activity screenings showed in vitro biological potential. The nature of covalent attachments (methyl, ethyl, n-butyl, phenyl, and n-octyl) of Sn(IV) played a decisive role for bioactivity. All the compounds have been studied in solution by NMR (¹H, ¹³C) and also in solid state using FTIR, mass spectrometry, and by X-ray crystallography. The molecular structure of Et₂Sn(IV) and Me₃Sn(IV) derivatives confirm the behavior of di- and tri-organotin(IV) compounds in solid state. Mono-organotin derivatives are octahedral both in solid and solution.     

Antimicrobial studies of newly synthesized organotin(IV) complexes of dihydrobis(2-mercaptothiazolinyl)borate

Four organotin(IV) complexes of dihydrobis(2-mercaptothiazolinyl)borate were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques (IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, ¹¹B-NMR, and ¹¹⁹Sn-NMR). All the compounds were screened against bacterial, fungal, and cyanobacterial strains. Among the complexes, triorganotin(IV) complexes show better inhibition growth as compared to diorganotin(IV) complexes.     

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.     

Synthesis and characterization of new organotin(IV) complexes with polyfunctional ligands

New mono-, di- and tri-organotin(IV) derivatives containing the neutral bis(2-pyridylthio)methane ligand, [(pyS)₂CH₂] and tris(2-pyridylthio)methane ligand, [(pyS)₃CH] have been synthesized from reaction with SnR_nCl_4−n (R = Me, ⁿBu, Ph and Cy, n = 1-3) acceptors. Mono-nuclear adducts of the type {[(pyS)₂CH₂]R_nSnCl_4−n} and {[(pyS)₃CH]R_nSnCl_4−n} have been obtained and characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, ESI-MS, multinuclear (¹H and ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR spectral data. The ¹H and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR and ESI-MS data suggest for the triorganotin(IV) derivatives a complete dissociation of the compounds in solution. The mono- and di-organotin(IV) derivatives show a greater stability in solution, and their spectroscopic data are in accordance with the existence of six-coordinated RSnCl₃N₂ or R₂SnCl₂N₂ species.     

Synthesis,characterization, and antibacterial activity of organotin(IV) complexes with 2-hydroxyacetophenone thiocarbohydrazone

Six new organotin(IV) complexes were synthesized by direct reaction of RSnCl₃ (R?=?Me, Bu and Ph) or R₂SnCl₂ (R?=?Me, Bu and Ph) and 2-hydroxyacetophenone thiocarbohydrazone [H₂APTC] under purified nitrogen in the presence of base in 1?:?2?:?1 molar ratio (metal: base: ligand). Complexes 2–7 have been characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivity, UV-Visible, IR and ¹H NMR spectral studies. Complexes 2–7 are non-electrolytes. The molecular structure of [Me₂Sn(APTC)]?·?(C₂H₅OH) (5) has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The thiocarbohydrazone ligand (1) and 2–7 have been tested for antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi and Enterococci aeruginosa.     

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.     

Synthesis,spectral and biological studies of organotin(IV) complexes of heteroscorpionate

A heteroscorpionate ligand, potassium hydrobis(benzoato)(salicylaldehyde)borate (KL), has been synthesized. This was converted into organotin complexes R₂SnL₂ and R₃SnL complexes by mixing and stirring with a methanolic solution/suspension of organotin chloride. The ligand and its complexes were characterized by elemental analyses and spectral studies (IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ESI mass spectra and Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA)). Antibacterial and antifungal studies of these compounds were evaluated by the disc diffusion method at variable concentration against three species of bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia and Bacillius subtillis) and two species of fungi (Asperjillius fiavus and Candida albicans). It was found that triorganotin derivatives (R₃SnL) of the ligand were more effective as compared with diorganotin derivatives (R₂SnL₂). The organotin complexes of borates were tested for their algicidal activity on the cyanobacterial strains Aulosira fertilissma, Anabaena species, Anabaena variabilis and Nostoc muscorum and showed high to moderate toxicity towards the above species. The ligand and its complexes were also tested for its pH effect on soil in vitro for a duration of more than one month and it was found that they are able to kill pests without damaging the soil quality.

Syntheses and structural characterization of organotin(IV) complexes derived from reaction of 2,3-diphenylpropionic acid and various alkyltin salts

Five new organotin(IV) complexes, [(R₃Sn)(O₂C₁₅H₁₃)] _n (R?=?Me: 1; nBu: 2), [RSn(O)(O₂C₁₅H₁₃)]₆ (R?=?Ph: 3), [(R₂Sn)₂(O₂C₁₅H₁₃)₂(μ ₃-O)]₂ (R?=?Me: 4), and [(R₂Sn)(O₂C₁₅H₁₃)₂] (R?=?nBu: 5), have been prepared by the reaction of 2,3-diphenylpropionic acid and the corresponding organotin chloride with sodium ethoxide in methanol. All the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) spectroscopy, TGA, and X-ray crystallography. The structural analyses reveal that 1 and 2 are 1-D infinite polymeric chains with Sn in syn–anti conformation. Complex 3 has a drum structure with six Sn centers. Complex 4 has a supramolecular chain-like ladder through weak intermolecular Sn?···?O interactions. Complex 5 is a monomer, connected into a 1-D polymer through intermolecular C–H?···?O interactions. Complexes 1 and 5 crystallize in the orthorhombic space groups P212121 and P21212, which are chiral space groups.     

Synthesis,structure and biological activity of organotin derivatives with pyridylmethylthiobenzoic acid

Reaction of 2-(2-pyridylmethylthio)benzoic acid (1) with R₂SnO (R = Et or ⁿBu) in a 1:1 molar ratio gives the dimeric compounds {[(2-PyCH₂SC₆H₄CO₂)SnR₂]₂O}₂. A similar reaction of 2-(4-pyridylmethylthio)benzoic acid (2) with Et₂SnO yields an analogous result. However, treatment of 2 with ⁿBu₂SnO in a 1:1 molar ratio only gives the diorganotin dicarboxylate (4-PyCH₂SC₆H₄CO₂)₂Sn(ⁿBu)₂. X-ray crystal structure analyses indicate that the pyridyl nitrogen atoms do not coordinate to the tin atoms in the dimer, whilst in the diorganotin dicarboxylate the tin atom has a seven-coordinate distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry, and this compound forms a linkage coordination polymer through the interactions of the pyridyl nitrogen atoms with the adjacent tin atoms. In addition, treatment of 1 or 2 with (Ph₃Sn)₂O in a 2:1 molar ratio affords triphenyltin carboxylates, in which the tin atoms also show different coordination environments. In the solid state, triphenyltin 2-(2-pyridylmethylthio)benzoate is a monomer and the pyridyl nitrogen atom does not participate in coordination to the tin atom either, while the interactions between the pyridyl nitrogen atoms and the adjacent tin atoms link triphenyltin 2-(4-pyridylmethylthio)benzoate into a coordination polymer. Preliminary in vitro tests for fungicidal activity show that all these compounds display good activity to Physolospora piricola in a low concentration. Moreover, the triphenyltin carboxylates show a higher inhibition percentage than the diorganotin carboxylates.     

Chlorodiphenyltin(IV) and triphenyltin(IV) complexes of N-alkylated 2-amino-1-cyclopentene-1-carbodithioic acids: synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and X-ray studies

Four new complexes, [Ph₃Sn(isopropylACDA)] (1), [Ph₂SnCl(isopropylACDA)] (2), [Ph₃Sn(secbutylACDA)] (3), and [Ph₂SnCl(secbutylACDA)] (4), have been prepared from reaction between N-alkylated 2-amino-1-cyclopentene-1-carbodithioic acids (ACDA) with Ph₂SnCl₂ and Ph₃SnCl in 1:1 ratio. All complexes are characterized by FTIR, multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn) and mass spectrometry. In all complexes, the S–H proton has been removed and coordination takes place through the carbodithioate moiety. The ¹¹⁹Sn NMR data are consistent with five coordination of tin atom in solution. Complexes 2, 3, and 4 have also been confirmed by single X-ray crystallography. All three crystals are triclinic with space group P − 1. In complexes 2 and 4, the geometry around tin atom is distorted trigonal bipyramidal while in 3 the geometry is in between distorted tetrahedral and trigonal bipyramid. In all three structures, ligands are asymmetrically coordinated to tin atom. In addition, crystal structures are further stabilized by N–H···S hydrogen bonding.     

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.     

Synthesis, spectral characterization and biological studies of some organotin(IV) complexes of L-proline, trans-hydroxy-L-proline and L-glutamine

New organotin(IV) complexes of the general formula R3Sn(L) (where R=Me, n-Bu and HL=L-proline; R=Me, Ph and HL=trans-hydroxy-L-proline and L-glutamine) and R2Sn(L)2 (where R=n-Bu, Ph and HL=L-proline; R=Ph, HL=trans-hydroxy-L-proline) have been synthesized by the reaction of RnSnCl(4-n) (where n=2 or 3) with sodium salt of the amino acid (HL). n-Bu2Sn(Pro)2 was synthesized by the reaction of n-Bu2SnO with L-proline under azeotropic removal of water. The bonding and coordination behavior in these complexes have been discussed on the basis of IR and 119Sn M?ssbauer spectroscopic studies in the solid-state. Their coordination behavior in solution has been discussed with the help of multinuclear (1H, 13C and 119Sn) NMR spectral studies. The 119Sn M?ssbauer and IR studies indicate that L-proline and trans-hydroxy-L-proline show similar coordination behavior towards organotin(IV) compounds. Pentacoordinate trigonal-bipyramidal and hexacoordinate octahedral structures, respectively, have been proposed for the tri- and diorganotin(IV) complexes of L-proline and trans-hydroxy-L-proline, in which the carboxylate group acts as bidentate group. L-glutamine shows different coordination behavior towards organotin(IV) compounds, it acts as monoanionic bidentate ligand coordinating through carboxylate and amino group. The triorganotin(IV) complexes of L-glutamine have been proposed to have trigonal-bipyramidal environment around tin. The newly synthesized complexes have been tested for their antiinflammatory and cardiovascular activities. Their LD50 values are >1000 mg kg-1.

The organotin(IV) complexes R₂Sn(tpu)₂ · L [L = 2MeOH, R = Me (1); L = 0: R = n-Bu (2), Ph (3), PhCH₂ (4)], R₃Sn(Hthpu) [R = Me (5), n-Bu (6), Ph (7), PhCH₂ (8)] and (R₂SnCl)₂ (dtpu) · L [L = H₂O, R = Me (9); L = 0: R = n-Bu (10), Ph (11), PhCH₂ (12)] have been synthesized, where tpu, Hthpu and dtpu are the anions of 6-thiopurine (Htpu), 2-thio-6-hydroxypurine (H₂thpu) and 2,6-dithiopurine (H₂dtpu), respectively. All the complexes 1-12 have been characterized by elemental, IR, ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectra analyses. And complexes 1, 2, 7 and 9 have also been determined by X-ray crystallography, complexes 1 and 2 are both six-coordinated with R₂Sn coordinated to the thiol/thione S and heterocyclic N atoms but the coordination modes differed. As for complex 7 and 9, the geometries of Sn atoms are distorted trigonal bipyramidal. Moreover, the packing of complexes 1, 2, 7 and 9 are stabilized by the hydrogen bonding and weak interactions.     

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,characterization, antibacterial,and cytotoxic activities of organotin(IV) complexes derived from N(4)-cyclohexylthiosemicarbazone: X-ray crystal structure of [Ph2SnCl(L)]

Reaction of organotin(IV) chloride(s) with 2-benzoylpyridine-N(4)-cyclohexylthiosemicarbazone, [HL] (1) yielded [MeSnCl₂(L)] (2), [BuSnCl₂(L)] (3), [Me₂SnCl(L)] (4), and [Ph₂SnCl(L)] (5). The ligand (1) and its organotin(IV) complexes have been characterized by CHN analyses, molar conductivity, UV-Vis, FT-IR, ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectral studies. The molecular structure of 5 was also determined by X-ray diffraction. There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit and the central tin(IV) atom is six-coordinate in distorted octahedral geometry. The ligand (1) and complexes were screened for their in vitro antibacterial activities. The cytotoxic activities of 1–5 were tested against A2780 and A2780/Cp8 cancer cell lines. The compounds have better antibacterial activities than the free ligand; 2–5 are more potent cytotoxic agents than 1, while the diphenyltin(IV) 5 is more active with IC₅₀ values of 0.05 and 0.54?µmol?L^?1 against A2780 and A2780/Cp8 cell lines, respectively.     

Structural properties and antibacterial potency of new supramolecular organotin(IV) dithiocarboxylates

A series of new organotin(IV) derivatives; Me₃SnL (1), Bu₃SnL (2), Ph₃SnL (3), Me₂SnClL (4), Bu₂SnClL (5), Ph₂SnClL (6), Et₂SnClL (7) and Et₂SnL₂ (8) where L = N-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)piperazine-1-carbodithioate have been synthesized and characterized by various analytical techniques. Among these techniques, ¹H and ¹³C NMR were carried out to asses solution structures whereas the solid state structures were confirmed by FT-IR and X-ray single crystal analysis (3, 5 and 8). Crystal structure of complex (3) and (5) showed distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry and square pyramidal geometry, respectively. The inclination of the structure 5 towards square-pyramidal may be due to the presence of the Sn-Cl?HN-piperazine hydrogen bonds between the adjacent molecules. A supramolecular structure is shown by compound (8), with central tin atom exists in a distorted octahedral geometry. The antibacterial results indicated the profound activity of the compounds against various strains of bacteria. In addition to this, the triorganotin(IV) derivatives were found more active than diorganotin(IV) compounds.
