Abstract: | The results are reported for an investigation into the fungicidal properties of six triphenyltin(IV) compounds representing metal coordination numbers of four through six. These experiments were conducted against a number of soil and plant pathogenic fungi and compared with the results obtained from triphenyltin chloride. While all the compounds examined proved to be effective fungicides, differences at the concentration levels tested were not sufficiently pronounced to relate the degree of toxicity to the molecular structure. |
