Organotin complexes are known for their outstanding structural diversity and applications. Organotin carboxylates form an important class of organotin compounds. The structural diversity of these compounds emanates from several features including flexibility in coordination geometries, coordination numbers, and versatility of the ligands to engage in different modes of chelation from monodentate to bidentate. Triorganotin(IV) complexes with various ligands mostly demonstrate tetrahedral or trigonal bipyramidal symmetry with some distortions, while diorganotin(IV) complexes have variation of geometries and coordination numbers.
