Synthesis, Characterization and In Vitro Antibacterial Studies of Organotin(IV) Complexes with 2-Hydroxyacetophenone-2-methylphenylthiosemicarbazone (H(2)dampt).

Five new organotin(IV) complexes of 2-hydroxyacetophenone-2-methylphenylthiosemicarbazone [H(2)dampt, (1)] with formula [RSnCl(n-1)(dampt)] (where R = Me, n = 2 (2); R = Bu, n = 2 (3); R = Ph, n = 2 (4); R = Me(2), n = 1 (5); R = Ph(2), n = 1 (6)) have been synthesized by direct reaction of H(2)dampt (1) with organotin(IV) chloride(s) in absolute methanol. The ligand (1) and its organotin(IV) complexes (2-6) were characterized by CHN analyses, molar conductivity, UV-Vis, FT-IR, (1)H, (13)C, and (119)Sn NMR spectral studies. H(2)dampt (1) is newly synthesized and has been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography.

{4-Hy-droxy-N'-[(2E,3Z)-4-oxido-4-phenyl-but-3-en-2-yl-idene]benzo-hydra-zidato}diphenyl-tin(IV) methanol monosolvate.

Two independent diphenyl-tin mol-ecules and two independent methanol mol-ecules comprise the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Sn(C(6)H(5))(2)(C(17)H(14)N(2)O(3))]·CH(3)OH. The Sn atom in each is five-coordinated by a tridentate ligand and the ipso-C atoms of the Sn-bound benzene substituents. The resulting C(2)N(2)O donor set defines a coordination geometry that is inter-mediate between trigonal-bipyramidal (TP) and square-pyramidal (SP), with one mol-ecule slightly tending towards TP and the other slightly towards SP.

{4-Hy-droxy-N'-[(2-oxido-1-naphthyl-κO)methyl-idene]benzohydrazidato-κN',O}dimethyl-tin(IV).

Two independent but very similar mol-ecules comprise the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Sn(CH(3))(2)(C(18)H(12)N(2)O(3))]. Each Sn atom is coordinated by two methyl groups and two O atoms and an N atom from the dinegative tridentate ligand. The resultant C(2)NO(2) donor set defines a coordination geometry inter-mediate between square-pyramidal and trigonal-pyramidal, with a small tendency towards the former.

The deprotonated Schiff base ligand in the title compound, [Sn(C(4)H(9))(2)(C(18)H(12)N(2)O(3))], O,N,O'-chelates to the Sn atom, which is five-coordinated in a cis-C(2)NO(2)Sn trigonal-bipyramidal environment. The apical sites are occupied by the O atoms [O-Sn-O = 155.2 (2)°].
