Abstract

Organotin(IV) complexes possess at least one covalent carbon to organotin bond as part of its structural characteristics [1]. It also contains tin in a +4 oxidation state bonded to donor atoms of a number of ligands. They have received a lot of research interests due to their structural diversity and numerous applications [2]. Organotins are the most widely used organometallic compounds globally (~ 50,000 t yr−1) [3] with applications in the stabilization of plastics, precursors in glass coating and as antifungal agents in textiles and other household items [4]. From the 1950s-2001, the major use of tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin (TPhT) was as a toxicant in antifoulant paints [4].
