Organotin(IV) and organolead(IV) complexes as biocides and fertility regulators: synthetic, spectroscopic and biological studies

Penta- and heptacoordinated tin(IV) compounds derived from pyridine Schiff bases and 2-pyridine carboxylate: Synthesis and structural characterization

“…In this regard, compounds which exhibit anti-microbial [1][2][3][4][5], anti-inflammatory [7][8][9][10][11], bactericidal [12,13], cardiovascular [1,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]15] biocidal [16], antitubercular [17,18], antifungal [19] and cytotoxic [20][21][22][23] biological activity have been described. Different complexes have been investigated in the search of treatments for diseases such as trypanosomiasis [24] and jaundice [25].…”

Heptacoordinate Tin(IV) Compounds Derived from Pyridine Schiff Bases: Synthesis, Characterization, in Vitro Cytotoxicity, Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Activity

“…20) Schiff bases are of paramount importance as ligands in metal coordination chemistry as they form stable complexes with most of transition metals. In the field of bioinorganic chemistry they are mainly used as synthetic models for metal containing sites in metalloproteins and enzymes.…”

Interaction of Pb2+, PbMe22+ and PbPh22+ with 3-(phenyl)-2-sulfanylpropenoic acid: A coordinative and toxicological approach

“…These spectra also support the coordination of the carboxylate group, which is evidenced by the downfield shift of the C(1) in the complexes when compared with the free ligand. The observed deshielding is more marked in the lead(II) complexes and this is indicative of the more bidentate nature of the carboxylate group in these compounds [48,49] and suggests the presence of some associated species.…”
