Six organotin(IV) complexes of type Me2SnL2, Bu 2SnL2, and Ph3SnL [where L = indole-3-butyric acid (1, 2 and 3) or indole-3-propionic acid (4, 5 and 6)] have been synthesized by the reactions of the corresponding diorganotin(IV) oxide and triphenyltin(IV) hydroxide with respective indole-3-butyric acid (IBH) or indole-3-propionic acid (IPH) in the desired molar ratios of 1:2/1:1. All of the compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and 119Sn NMR spectroscopy. Thermal studies of all synthesized complexes have been carried out using thermogravimetry (TG) technique under a nitrogen atmosphere. The thermal decompositions for compounds Me2SnL2 and Bu2SnL2 occurred in two steps, whereas in compounds Ph3SnL, it exhibited as three steps decomposition and resulted into the formation of pure SnO2. The complexes were also screened against three gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Micrococcus luteus) and three gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter aerogenes) bacteria using minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) method, and all of these complexes showed significant antibacterial activity.
