Antimicrobial studies of newly synthesized organotin(IV) complexes of dihydrobis(2-mercaptothiazolinyl)borate

Abstract

Four organotin(IV) complexes of dihydrobis(2-mercaptothiazolinyl)borate were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques (IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, ¹¹B-NMR, and ¹¹⁹Sn-NMR). All the compounds were screened against bacterial, fungal, and cyanobacterial strains. Among the complexes, triorganotin(IV) complexes show better inhibition growth as compared to diorganotin(IV) complexes.
