In this work, two organotin(IV) compounds viz. triphenyltin(IV) diisopropyldithiocarbamate (1) and
dimethyltin(IV) diisopropyldithio-carbamate (2) were synthesized via in situ method. Both synthesized
organotin(IV) complexes were characterized by elemental, FT-IR and 1H, 12C and 119Sn NMR
spectroscopies. The single-crystal structure of compound 1 was determined by X-ray single-crystal
analysis. The elemental analysis data showed agreement with the suggested formulas of
(C6H5)3Sn[S2CN(C3H7)2] (1) and (CH3)2Sn[S2CN(C3H7)2]2 (2). The important infrared absorbance peaks,
ν(C=N) and ν(C=S), were detected in the ranges 1477-1474 cm-1 and 1038-997 cm-1 respectively. The
chemical shift of carbon in the NCS2 group for compounds 1 and 2 was observed at 196.97 ppm and
198.11 ppm, respectively. The crystal structure of compound 1 showed that it is 5-coordinated and
crystallized in a triclinic, P1 space group with the crystal cell parameter: a = 9.7572(1) Å, b = 11.7030(2)
Å, c = 11.7602(2)Å, α = 74.419(1)°, β = 80.114(1)°, γ = 67.285(2)° and R = 0.002. The cytotoxicity
(IC50) of these two compounds against K562 leukaemia cells was 0.25 μM and 4.3 μM, respectively,
as assessed using MTT assay. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that both compounds showed
potent cytotoxicity towards the K562 cell line tested, with compound 1 displaying a greater effect.
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.
