Synthesis, characterization and antibacterial activity of some new triphenyltin(IV) sulfanylcarboxylates: Crystal structure of [(SnPh3)2(p-mpspa)], [(SnPh3)2(cpa)] and [(SnPh3)2(tspa)(DMSO)]

The synthesis of five new triphenyltin(IV) sulfanylcarboxylates of the general formula [(SnPh3)2L] is reported. Their structural study was carried out by spectroscopic methods and, in some of them, by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. The antibacterial activity of the compounds is also reported.
