Recent development in synthesis and biological application of organotin complexes

Biological activities of organotin(IV) complexes with Schiff bases and organic ligand have been well established. Organotin complexes are getting significant attention, despite of the toxic concern, due to its wide spectrum of applications. The core area of research interest in organotin arises from its use as anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and other important biological activities. The present review provides a comprehensive idea to the people working in field of inorganic or organometallic synthesis with tin metal and covers recent development happened in last five year (>1000 research papers have been published in last five year) to get future perspective for fruitful result.
