New series of triorganotin(IV) complexes with 4 -nitrobenzanilide semicarbazone (L 1 H) and 4 -nitrobenzanilide thiosemicarbazone (L 2 H) of the type [R 3 Sn(L)] (R = -CH 3 , -C 6 H 5 and n-C 4 H 9 ) were synthesized under microwave irradiation. All the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, conductance measurements, molecular weight determinations and spectral data, viz., IR, UV-vis, 1 H, 13 C and 119 Sn NMR. The central tin atoms of these complexes are all five-coordinated with trigonal bipyramidal geometry. In order to assess their growth inhibitory potency semicarbazone, thiosemicarbazone and their triorganotin(IV) complexes were tested in vitro against some pathogenic fungi and bacteria. Also the ligands and their organotin(IV) complexes were studied to assess the effects of long-term ingestion of these compounds on fertility, body and reproductive organ weights. The biochemical analyses were also performed on blood samples and reproductive organs of male rats. The findings have been presented in this paper.
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.
