Synthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial Screening of Diorganotin(IV) Complexes Derived From 2-[(4-Dimethylamino-Benzylidene)Amino]Phenol

Five organotin complexes have been derived from a Schiff base, 2-[(4-dimethylamino-benzylidene)amino] phenol. The synthesis of target compounds is confirmed by spectroscopic techniques: IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR. Activity of the initial Schiff base and its complexes has been tested with respect to various bacterial strains, and the results obtained are quite promising against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
