Organotin(IV) complexes of thiohydrazones: synthesis, characterization and antifungal study

Some new organotin(IV) complexes with salicylaldehyde aniline-N-thiohydrazone (L-1) and cinamaldehyde aniline-N-thiohydrazone (L-2) of the type (p-ClC6H4)(3)Sn[L] Cl and (p-ClC6H4)(2)Sn[L]Cl-2 have been synthesized (where L=L-1 and L-2). The complexes and ligands were characterized by elemental analysis and spectral (UV-vis, IR and H-1 NMR) studies. In all the complexes, ligands act as bidentate, coordination through sulphur and azomethane nitrogen. Complexes are 1:1 metal ligands complexes. Antifungal studies of some complexes against Rhizoctonia bataticola fungal strain have been carried out. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
