%X A number of penta- and hexacoordinated organotin(IV) complexes and tetracoordinated tin(II) complexes of compositions Me 2 SnCl[ RCO C:CON( C 6 H 5 )N:C ¦â CH 3 ] (where R=  CH 3 ,  p  ClC 6 H 4 , and   C 6 H 5 ), Me 2 Sn [ RCO C:CON( C 6 H 5 )N:C ¦â CH 3 ] 2 (where R=  CH 3 , and   C 6 H 5 ), and Sn(II) [ RCO C:CON( C 6 H 5 )N:C ¦â CH 3 ] 2 (where R= p  ClC 6 H 4 and   C 6 H 5 ) were screened for their toxicity against Musca domestica (house fly). In general, organotin(IV) complexes contribute more to the activity than tin(II) complexes.
