Organotin(IV) triazolates: Synthesis and their spectral characterization

Some organotin(IV) triazolates of general formula R_nSn(L)_4 − n (where R = Me, n-Bu and Ph for n = 2; R = Me, n-Pr and n-Bu for n = 3 and HL = 3-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole) have been synthesized by the reaction of R₂SnCl₂/R₃SnCl with NaL in 1:2/1:1 molar ratio. Whereas, Oct₂SnL₂ has been synthesized azeotropically by the reaction of Oct₂SnO and HL in 1:2 molar ratio. As good single crystals were not obtained, a large number of experimental techniques, viz. UV/Vis, IR, far-IR, multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR and ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer spectroscopic studies, were used to accomplish a definitive characterization and determination of their most probable structures. In these compounds triazole acts as a monoanionic bidentate ligand, coordinating through S_exo and N(4). The IR and ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer spectroscopic studies allow us to deduce a highly distorted cis-trigonal-bipyramidal structure for R₃SnL and a distorted skew trapezoidal-bipyramidal structure for R₂SnL₂, in the solid state. However, ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectral studies revealed that weak bonding between tin and N(4) is further weakened in the solution leading to pseudo-tetrahedral/tetrahedral structure.     

Synthesis and solid-state spectroscopic investigation of some novel diorganotin(IV) complexes of tetraazamacrocyclic ligands

The tetradendate macrocyclic ligands, [H₂L-1 = 5,12-dioxa-7,14-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-1,8-diene] and [H₂L-2 = 6,14-dioxa-8,16-dimethyl-1,5,9,13-tetraazacyclohexadeca-1,9-diene] have been prepared by the condensation reaction of 1,2-diaminoethane and 1,3-diaminopropane, respectively, with ethyl acetoacetate in methanol at room temperature. The diorganotin(IV) complexes of general formula [R₂Sn(L-1)/R₂Sn(L-2)] (R = Me, n-Bu and Ph) have been synthesized by template condensation reaction of 1,2-diaminoethane or 1,3-diaminopropane and ethyl acetoacetate with R₂SnCl₂ (R = Me or Ph) or n-Bu₂SnO in 2:2:1 molar ratio at ambient temperature (35 ± 2 °C) in methanol. The solid-state characterization of resulting complexes have been carried out by elemental analysis, IR, recently developed DART-mass, solid-state ¹³C NMR, ^119mSn Mössbauer spectroscopic studies. These studies suggest that in all of the studied complexes, the macrocyclic ligands act as tetradentate coordinating through four nitrogen atoms giving a skew-trapezoidal bipyramidal environment around tin center. Since, the studied diorganotin(IV) macrocyclic complexes are insoluble in common organic solvents, hence good crystals could not be grown for single crystal X-ray crystallographic studies. Thermal studies of all of the studied complexes have also been carried out in the temperature range 0-1000 °C using TG, DTG and DTA techniques. The end product of pyrolysis is SnO₂ confirmed by XRD analysis.     

Tin(IV) and organotin(IV) derivatives of bis(pyrazolyl)acetate: Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and behaviour in solution.: X-ray single crystal study of bis(pyrazol-1-yl)acetatotri-iodotin(IV) [SnI3(bdmpza)]

Novel heteroscorpionate-containing tin and organotin(IV) complexes, [SnR_nX_3 − n(L)], R = Me, Buⁿ, Ph, or cy; X = Cl, Br or I, n = 0, 1, 2 or 3; L = bis(pyrazol-1-yl)acetate (bpza) or bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)acetate (bdmpza), have been synthesized and characterized by spectral (IR, ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR, ^119mSn Mössbauer) and analytical data. In [SnI₃(bdmpza)], the ligand is fac-N,N′,O-tridentate, the three iodine atoms thus also fac about the six-coordinate tin(IV) atom. Neutral bpzaH reacts with BuⁿSnCl₃, PhSnCl₃ and SnCl₄ in Et₂O in the absence of base, yielding 1:1 adducts [XSnCl₃(bpzaH)] (X = R or Cl).     

Synthesis and spectroscopic studies of new organotin(IV) complexes with tridentate N- and O-donor Schiff bases

The Schiff bases H₂L¹ and H₂L² have been prepared by the reaction of 2-amino-4-chlorophenol with pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-1-naphtaldehyde, respectively, and HL³ from reaction of 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine with 2-hydroxy-1-naphtaldehyde. Organotin complexes [SnPh₂(L¹)] (1), [SnPh₂(L²)] (2), [SnMe₂(L²)] (3) and [SnPhCl₂(L³)] (4) were synthesized from reaction of SnPh₂Cl₂ and SnMe₂Cl₂ with these Schiff bases. The synthesized complexes have been investigated by elemental analysis and FT-IR, ¹H NMR and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy. In complexes the Schiff bases are completely deprotonated and coordinated to tin as tridentate ligands via phenolic oxygen, pyrrolic, and imine nitrogens in 1, two phenolic oxygens and imine nitrogen in 2 and 3, and phenolic oxygen, imine and pyridine nitrogens in 4. The coordination number of tin in 1, 2, and 3 is five and in 4 is six.     

New diorganotin(IV) derivatives of 7-hydroxycoumarin (umbelliferone) and their adducts with 1,10-phenanthroline

New diorganotin(IV) derivatives of the general formula R2Sn(Umb)2 (where R = n-Bu, n-Oct and Ph; Umb = umbelliferone anion) have been synthesized either by the reaction of R2SnO with umbelliferone under azeotropic removal of water or by the reaction of R2SnCl2 with sodium salt of umbelliferone. Further, the adducts of the general formula R2Sn(Umb)2.phen (where R = n-Bu and n-Oct; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have also been synthesized by the interaction of R2Sn(Umb)2 with 1,10-phenanthroline. The bonding and coordination behavior in these derivatives are discussed on the basis of IR and 119Sn M?ssbauer spectroscopic studies in solid state. Their coordination behavior in solution is discussed by the multinuclear (1H, 13C and 119Sn) NMR spectral studies. The M?ssbauer and IR studies indicate that umbelliferone acts as a monoanionic bidentate ligand in R2Sn(Umb)2 coordinating through O(7) and O(1). A distorted octahedral geometry around tin has been proposed for R2Sn(Umb)2 as well as for R2Sn(Umb)2.phen in solid state. The newly synthesized derivatives have been tested for their anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular activities. The average LD50 value >1000 mg kg(-1) of these compounds indicates their safety margin.     

Synthesis,characterization, and insecticidal activity of new tin (IV) complexes

A three-component reaction of dimethyltin dibromide with imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine, pyridine derivatives, or isoquinoline and allyl bromide in refluxing ethanol affords the ionic complex, bis(1-allylcycloiminium) dimethyltetrabromostannate (II). The reaction involves N-allylation of cycloimine accompanied by the coordination of two bromide ions with the tin atom of dimethyltin dibromide. The complexes have been characterized by infrared and ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR studies. The X-ray crystal structure analysis of a complex reveals the tin atom to be hexacoordinated and the dimethyltetrabromostannate (II) anion having octahedral geometry. Some of the complexes tested for their insecticidal activity are found to exhibit strong activity against Tribolium castaneum insect with LC₅₀ ranging from 0.4 to 0.8 ppm.     

Synthesis, crystal structure and in vitro antitumor activity of carboxylate bridged dinuclear organotin(IV) complexes

Two novel dinuclear organotin(IV) complexes [n-Bu₂Sn(imda)(H₂O)]₂·Bipy (1) and [n-Bu₂Sn(imda)(H₂O)]₂·Phen (2) [H₂imda = iminodiacetic acid, Bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine and Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline] were synthesised and characterized employing IR, ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR, and ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer spectroscopic and elemental analyses. Single crystal X-ray crystallography of 1 has confirmed that it is a binuclear Sn(IV) species formed via carboxylate bridges where each metal adopted a seven coordinate distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry. The iminodiacetate dianion (imda²⁻) acts as a potential tridentate [N,O,O] carboxylate bridging ligand. The packing revealed that the additional α-diimine (Bipy or Phen) does not coordinate to metal ion. However, its presence in the crystal lattice as spacer helps for the formation of a supramolecular framework by bringing the two binuclear species close enough through extensive H-bonding. The in vitro cytotoxicity of compounds 1 and 2 indicate better results than cisplatin against three tumor cell lines investigated.     

Triorganotin(IV) derivatives of umbelliferone (7-hydroxycoumarin) and their adducts with 1,10-phenanthroline: synthesis, structural and biological studies

New triorganotin(IV) derivatives of the general formula R₃Sn(Umb) (where, R = Me, n-Bu and Ph; Umb = umbelliferone anion) have been synthesized using sodium salt method. Further, the adducts of the general formula R₃Sn(Umb) · phen (where R = Me and Ph; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have also been synthesized by the interaction of the triorganotin(IV) derivatives of umbelliferone with 1,10-phenanthroline. The bonding and coordination behavior of these derivatives are discussed on the basis of IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn), and ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer spectroscopic studies. These investigations indicate that umbelliferone acts as a monoanionic bidentate ligand in R₃Sn(Umb) coordinating through O(7) and O(1) in the solid-state. These polymeric R₃Sn(Umb) derivatives (where R = Me and n-Bu) have been proposed to have a trans-trigonal bipyramidal geometry with the three R groups in equatorial positions, while the axial positions are occupied by a phenolic oxygen and the O(1) atom from the adjacent molecule. A pseudotetrahedral geometry has been suggested for Ph₃Sn(Umb). A distorted octahedral geometry around tin has been proposed for R₃Sn(Umb) · phen, in which umbelliferone anion acts as a monodentate ligand coordinating through phenolic oxygen O(7). The newly synthesized derivatives have been assayed for their anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular and anti-microbial activities. The average LD₅₀ values >1000 mg kg⁻¹ of these derivatives indicate their safety margin. Among all the compounds tested, Ph₃Sn(Umb) · phen has been found to show potent anti-inflammatory activity with low mammalian toxicity and mild hypotensive activity.     

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.

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 and characterization of complexes of organotin(IV) with 2-thiazoline-2-thione

The reaction of 2-thiazoline-2-thione (TZDSH) with SnR₂Cl₂ (R=Ph 1, Me 2, Bu 3) in dry ethanol in the presence of sodium ethoxide leads to [SnR₂(C₃H₄NS₂)₂] (1, 2, and 3), respectively. Reaction between TZDSH and SnPh₂Cl₂ in dichloromethane and dry ethanol in an inert atmosphere produces [SnPh₂Cl₂(C₃H₅NS₂)₂] (4). The yields of the products were over 80%. These new complexes have been characterized by IR, UV-Vis, multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry, as well as elemental analysis.     

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.     

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 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.     

Preparation and structural studies on diorganotin(IV) complexes of N-nitroso-N-phenylhydroxylaminates

Diorganotin(IV)-complexes of the N-nitroso-N-phenylhydroxylaminates (hereinafter cupf), Et₂Sn(cupf)₂ (1), Bu₂Sn(cupf)₂ (2), {[Bu₂Sn(cupf)]₂O}₂ (3), t-Bu₂Sn(cupf)₂ (4) and Oc₂Sn(cupf)₂ (5, 6) were prepared and characterised by FT-IR and Mössbauer spectroscopic measurements. The binding modes of the ligand were identified by FT-IR spectroscopy, and it was found that the ligand is coordinated in chelating or bridging mode to the organotin(IV) center. The ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer and FT-IR studies support the formation of trans-O_h (1-6) structures. The X-ray diffraction analysis of 4 revealed that the tin centre is in a skew-trapezoidal geometry defined by four donors derived from the cupferronato ligands and two carbon atoms from the tin-bound ^tbutyl substituents. The ¹¹⁹Sn NMR investigations indicate that in solution 4 retains its hexacoordinated nature.     

o-Cyclohexadiamine complexes of some diorganotin,mono-organtotin and stannic carboxylates: Synthesis and spectral properties

o-Cyclohexadiamine (the base component of tetraplatin) adducts of Ph₂Sn(OCOCH₃)₂, nBu₂Sn(OCOH₃)₂, (PhCH₂)₂Sn(OCOCH₃)₂, PhSn(OCOCF₃)₃, BuSn(OCOCH₃)₃ and Sn(OCOCH₃)₄ have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopy. The compounds appear to be the first such adducts in their class.     

Synthesis and biological activity of trinuclear seven-coordinated tin(IV) complexes derived from tridentate ligands and trimesic acid

The synthesis of trinuclear Sn(IV) complexes 5a–h – prepared in a one-pot reaction of 2-amino-4-R-phenol (R=H, Me, Cl, NO₂), 2-pyridine-carboxaldehyde, 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (trimesic acid, H₃BTC), and dibutyl and dioctyltin oxides – is described. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR, and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The structures of 5a and 5b were also determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The trinuclear tin system is formed by bridges through the carboxylate moieties. The metal centers are seven-coordinate and the coordination polyhedron of tin can be depicted as distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal (PBP), where the equatorial plane consists of three oxygens and two nitrogens and the organic groups occupy the axial positions. The work presented here combines the useful properties of Schiff bases and H₃BTC ligands in the formation of organotin(IV) complexes, and investigates the likely antioxidant (DPPH and TBARS) and anti-inflammatory activity (TPA) of the new substances.     

Some new butylthiobenzoatotin(IV) compounds: spectral studies and analysis of ligand's bonding

Five new monorganotin(IV) compounds with thiobenzoate ligand, [BuSn(SOCPh)2]2O (1), [BuSn(O)(SOCPh)]2 (2), BuSn(Cl)(SOCPh)2 (3), BuSn(Cl)2(SOCPh) (4) and [BuSn(OH)(Cl)(SOCPh)]2 (5) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. 119Sn NMR spectroscopy was used to determine the coordination geometry around Sn(IV) in the cases of 2 and 4. 1, 2 and 5 are dimeric while 3 and 4 are monomeric. In all these molecules the thiobenzoate ion is coordinated only through its sulfur atom. Molecular structures of the compounds have been optimized by MM2 calculations. Semi-empirical quantum mechanical calculations (PM3 method) were performed to explain the monodentate-bonding pattern of thiobenzoate ligand.
