Synthesis and characterization of biologically potent Di-organotin(IV) complexes of mono-methyl glutarate

The synthesis and characterization of some novel compounds of organotin(IV) chlorides with monomethyl glutarate is reported; the ligand molecule appears to be bound to the tin atom through the carbonyl oxygen. The results obtained through H-1-C-13-Sn-119 NMR, FT-IR and Sn-119 Mossbauer spectra show that the diorganotin(IV) complexes have hexacoordination with octahedral geometry. Biological screening of the complexes reveals that the di-organotin(IV) complexes show significant activity against all microorganisms.
