In methanol, the racemization of chiral center of l-tyrosinate fragment occurred and the racemic products were obtained. X-ray analyses of 1c, 1d, and 2a2c showed that the tin atoms of the complexes exhibit distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometries. In 1c, 1d, and 2c, the intermolecular OHO hydrogen bonds connected the molecules into 1-D supramolecular chain or a R 2 2(20) macrocyclic dimer, and 2a and 2b formed the 2-D supramolecular network by the intermolecular SnO and OHO interactions. Bioassay results indicated that 1a, 1c, and 1d had moderate antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and 1c, 1d, and 2c belonged to the efficient cytostatic agents against two human tumor cell lines (A549 and HeLa) and the activity tends to follow the order Cy > Bu>Et>Me for the R group attached to tin.", }
