Abstract: Four organotin (IV) derivatives of Hexanedioic acid: potassium dibutyltin (IV) hexanedioate (1), potassium tributyltin (IV) hexanedioate (2), potassium diphenyltin (IV) hexanedioate (3) and potassium triphenyltin (IV) hexanedioate (4) were synthesized by reacting hexanedioic acid with potassium hydroxide to give the potassium hydrogen salt followed by reaction between the salt and an organotin oxide/hydroxide to give the potassium organotin dicarboxylates. The compounds were characterized by tin content analysis, FTIR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR and tested for antifungal activity against four strains of Microsporum spp and three strains of Trichoephyton spp .
