The synthesis and characterisation of tin(II), tin(IV), organotin(IV), lead(H), organolead(IV), zirconium(IV) and organozirconium(IV) complexes with two new ligands salicylaldehyde 4-methoxybenzoyl hydrazone and diacetylbis(4-methoxybenzoyl­hydrazone) [abbreviated to (H₂)SMBHON and (H₂)DAMBHON, respectively] are described. Some reactions of isolated Sn(DAMBHON)CI₂ with MeSH, SiMe₃(NMe₂), C₆H₅CH₂SiMe₃ and p-Me₂SiC₆H₄SiMe₃ are discussed. The com­plexes isolated have been characterised by elemental analyses, molar conductance values, molecular weights and spectroscopic (uv-visible, ir and ¹H nmr) data.
