title: Possible pre-dissociation of diorganotin dihalide complexes: relationship between antitumour activity and structure.
abstract: An examination of crystallographic data has indicated that the structure/activity relationship for diorganotin dihalide complexes is different from that of other metal dihalides, in that the Sn-N bond lengths appear to determine the antitumour activity.
