Reactions of di- n -butyltin(IV)dichloride with sodium salts of Schiff bases in tetrahydrofuran-benzene solution in 1:1 and 1:2 stoichiometry afforded complexes of the types [( n -Bu) 2 Sn(sb)Cl] and [( n -Bu) 2 Sn(sb) 2 ], respectively, [where sb = Schiff bases: N -salicylidene-2-aminopyridine (sap H ), N -salicylidene-2-methylaniline (o-smab H ) and N -salicylidene-4-methylaniline (p-smab H )]. All these complexes which are colored solids and are soluble in common organic solvents were characterized by elemental (C, H, N, Cl and Sn) analysis and spectral [IR, ( 1 H, 13 C and 119 Sn) NMR] and Mass studies. On the basis of spectroscopic studies plausible structures have been proposed. The DNA cleavage activity of these complexes has been studied by agarose gel electrophoresis method. |
