According to hydrogen and carbon elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy and high resolution mass spectrometry the formula of such compounds is (C 6 H 5 ) 2 SnMand 2 {Mand = C 6 H 5 CH(OH)COO}. An octahedral complex, with the phenyl groups in trans position was proposed for its structure. It was observed that this compound was active against the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense. The biocide effect was more intense than the one observed for (±)-mandelic acid. However, it was less efficient than tin chloride hydrate, triphenyltin acetate and triphenyltin hydride. In germination assays with conides and microconides of the same fungus in the presence of [(C 6 H 5 ) 2 SnMand 2 ], the germination rates were below 11%.
