Toxicity of Certain Penta-Coordinated Organotin(IV) and Tetra-Coordinated Tin(II) Complexes of Heterocyclic β-Diketones Against the Larvae of Aedes Aegypti (Liston)

Abstract

Some organotin(IV) and tin(II) complexes of composition R₃Sn[R'COC:CON(C₆H₅)N:CCH₃] (where R=C₄H₉, R'=CH₃, C₃H₅, p-ClC₆H₄; R=C₆H₅, R'=C₆H₅ and p-ClC₆H₄) and Sn[p-ClC₆H₄COC:CON(C₆H₅)N:CCH₃]₂ were screened for their toxicity against Aedes aegypti larvae. Organotin(IV) complexes were more active than tin(II) complexes.
