Fourteen new diorganotin(IV) complexes of N ‐(5‐halosalicylidene)‐α‐amino acid, R′ 2 Sn(5‐X‐2‐OC 6 H 3 CHNCHRCOO) (where X = Cl, Br; R = H, Me, i‐Pr; R′ = n ‐Bu, Ph, Cy), were synthesized by the reactions of diorganotin halides with potassium salt of N ‐(5‐halosalicylidene)‐α‐amino acid and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR ( 1 H, 13 C and 119 Sn) spectra. The crystal structures of Bu 2 Sn(5‐Cl‐2‐OC 6 H 3 CHNCH(i‐Pr)COO) and Ph 2 Sn(5‐Br‐2‐OC 6 H 3 CHNCH(i‐Pr)COO) were determined by X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction and showed that the tin atoms are in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry and form five‐ and six‐membered chelate rings with the tridentate ligand. Bioassay results of a few compounds indicated that the compounds have strong cytotoxic activity against three human tumour cell lines, i.e. HeLa, CoLo205 and MCF‐7, and the activity decreased in the order Cy> n ‐Bu>Ph for the R′ group bound to tin.
