Abstract: Organotin carboxylates of the general formulae R_2SnL_2 and R_3SnL, where R = CH_3, n-C_4H_9, C_6H_5, CH_2C_6H_5 and L = 1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-7-methyl-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid (nalidixic acid), have been prepared. These compounds were characterized by FT-IR, mass and multinuclear NMR (^1H, ^{13}C and ^{119}Sn) spectroscopy. The geometry around the tin atom is compared both in solution and in solid state. These compounds were also screened for their antifungal and antibacterial activities.
