2015): Synthesis and biological activity of trinuclear seven-coordinate tin(IV) complexes derived from tridentate ligands and trimesic acid, Journal of Coordination Chemistry, The synthesis of trinuclear Sn(IV) complexes 5a−h, prepared in a one-pot reaction of 2-amino-4-R-phenol (R = H, Me, Cl, NO 2 ), 2-pyridine-carboxaldehyde, 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (trimesic acid, H 3 BTC) and dibutyl-and dioctyltin oxides, is described. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The structures of 5a and 5b were also determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The trinuclear tin system is formed by bridges through the carboxylate moieties. The metal centers are seven-coordinate and the coordination polyhedron of tin can be depicted as distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal (PBP), where the equatorial plane consists of three oxygens and two nitrogens and the organic groups occupy the axial positions. The work presented here combines the useful properties of Schiff bases and H 3 BTC ligands in formation of organotin(IV) complexes and investigates the likely antioxidant (DPPH and TBARS) and antiinflammatory activity (TPA) of the new substances.
