Organosilicon(IV) and organotin(IV) complexes as biocides and nematicides: synthetic, spectroscopic and biological studies of N^∩N donor sulfonamide imine and its chelates

Organotin(IV) derivatives as biocides: An investigation of structure by IR, solution NMR, electron impact MS and assessment of structure correlation with biocidal activity

“…Enzyme production is here intended to mean both synthesis of the enzymes by the microorganisms and activity of the enzymes in the medium after it is produced. Since the organotin(IV) complexes inhibit the growth of organisms, it is assumed that the production of the enzymes is being affected; hence the organisms are unable to utilize the food and, consequently, the growth ceases [26]. The variation in the effectiveness of different biocidal agents against different organisms, as suggested by Sexena and Singh [27], depends on the impermeability of the cell.…”

Template synthesis, spectroscopic studies, antimicrobial, nematicidal and pesticidal activities of chromium(III) macrocyclic complexes

“…Nematicidal activity A step-by-step procedure 24 was followed for obtaining quantities of clean Meloidogyne incognita eggs. Brinjal roots heavily infected by Meloidogyne incognita, were washed thoroughly under running water and cut into small pieces.…”

Spectral and biological studies of newly synthesized organotin(IV) complexes of 4-({[(E)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)methylidene]amino}methyl)cyclohexane carboxylic acid Schiff base

“…The activity varies with variation of R groups, attached with the Sn. Apparently, the function of the ligand is only to support the transport of the active organotin(IV) moiety to the site of action where it is released by hydrolysis [29].…”
