Abstract

Abstract Five organotin(IV) complexes, were obtained by reaction of SnR 2 Cl 2 (R = Ph, Me, Bu) with ONO donor Schiff bases. The synthesized complexes have been investigated by elemental analysis and IR, 1 H NMR, and 119 Sn NMR spectroscopy. These data show that the Schiff base acts as a tridentate dianionic ligand and coordinates via the imine nitrogen and two oxygen atoms. The X-ray crystallography of complex 4 shows a dimeric structure for this molecule. The in vitro antibacterial activities of the Schiff bases and their complexes have been evaluated against Gram-positive ( Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus ) and Gram-negative ( Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ) bacteria and compared with the standard antibacterial drugs.
