Characteristic spectral studies and in vitro antifungal activity of some Schiff bases and their organotin (IV) complexes.

The synthesis and in vitro antifungal activity of some Schiff bases and their Sn (IV) complexes has been tested against plant pathogenic fungi and it is found that they possess excellent fungicidal activity. On the basis of ¹H-, 13C-, 119Sn NMR-, 119Sn Mössbauer, IR and Elemental analysis the tetrahedral geometry is proposed for the synthesized compounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
