The [nBu,Sn(N-phthaloylglycinate)(OH,)] compound has been prepared and characterized. The crystal structure reveals the tin atom, in each of the two molecules comprising the asymmetric unit, to exist in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry in which the trigonal plane is defined by the three organic substituents and the axial sites are occupied by an oxygen atom derived from a monodentate carboxylate ligand and a coordinated water molecule. The [nBu3Sn(N-phthaloylglycinate)(OH,)1 compound and three other triorganotin derivatives of N-phthaloyl-protected amino acids display marked toxicity against several economically important plant pathogenic fungi.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
