Résumé : The synthesis and characterization of 10 new bis(;alkoxycarbonylmethyl)tin dibromides and of 14 of their complexes with bidentate nitrogen ligands (;bipyridyl, 1,10-phenanthroline and 5-nitro-1, 10-phenanthroline) are described. Their proton NMR spectra are discussed. Their in vitro antitumour activity against two human cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and WiDr, is low compared to antitumour drugs used clinically.
