Skin cancer prevalence in the United States is rapidly on the rise, particularly in rural communities where individuals are subjected to heavy sunlight exposure through occupations such as agricultural work and construction. These geographic regions are often lacking in dermatologic specialty care, thus increasing the disease burden of skin conditions in primary care settings. Access barriers to specialized dermatology care are exacerbated by prolonged wait times to schedule an appointment, travel demands, and a relative paucity of dermatology providers in rural areas as compared to urban areas.

The treatment of GeCl(2) x (1,4-dioxane), SnCl(2), or SnI(2) with [(n-Pr)(2)ATI]Li in a 1:1 molar ratio affords the corresponding germanium(II) or tin(II) halide complex [(n-Pr)(2)ATI]MX (where [(n-Pr)(2)ATI](-) = N-(n-propyl)-2-(n-propylamino)troponiminate; M = Ge or Sn; X = Cl or I). As usually expected, [(n-Pr)(2)ATI]GeCl and [(n-Pr)(2)ATI]SnCl undergo rapid metathesis with CF(3)SO(3)Ag, leading to trifluoromethanesulfonate salts, [[(n-Pr)(2)ATI]Ge][SO(3)CF(3)] and [[(n-Pr)(2)ATI]Sn][SO(3)CF(3)], and silver chloride.
