Organotin(IV) derivatives of 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid: synthesis, spectral characterization, X-ray structures, anticancer, enzyme inhibition, antileishmanial, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

Four organotin(IV) carboxylate complexes; (CH)SnL (), CHSnL (), (CH)SnL () and (CH)SnL () are synthesized by the condensation reaction of organotin(IV) chlorides with sodium-4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetate (). The FT-IR spectra suggested bridging/chelating bidentate coordination of the ligand to the tin atom. Single-crystal XRD analysis authenticated the FT-IR findings for and .

Diastereoselective synthesis and biological evaluation of new fluorine-containing α-aminophosphonates as anticancer agents and scaffold to human urokinase plasminogen activator inhibitors.

Phosphonate analogues of α-amino acids are increasingly valued for their significant potential in medicinal chemistry. Fluorine is a "magic" element that plays a huge role in modulating the properties of organic compounds. In this work, we combined the two pharmacophores in the synthesis of three series of new α-aminophosphonates.

Application of a simple copper(II) complex compound as an epinephrine selective voltammetric sensor in the presence of uric acid under aqueous conditions.

Developing sensors with high sensitivity and selectivity for detecting neurotransmitters under near-physiological conditions is a major challenge and is crucial for preventing diseases of the nervous, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems. Most existing systems that meet these requirements involve either complicated synthesis processes, require sulfur groups, or are not functional under aqueous conditions. Herein, we report that the self-organisation of a simple imine ligand L with copper(II) tetrafluoroborate leads to the formation of a [CuL](BF) complex (CuL) with a 2 : 1 ligand-to-metal ratio, as confirmed by high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR ESI-MS), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray analysis.

Establishing Composition of Solid Solution Based on Single Crystal and Powder X-ray Measurement: The Case of Halogenated Bismuth(III) Complexes with Acetophenone-4-methyl-3-thiosemicarbazone.

New bismuth (III) complexes with acetophenone-4-methyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (L) and halogens (Cl and Br) in both bridging and terminal positions have been synthesized and structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The pure complexes (Cl or Br) were found to be highly isostructural, which motivated our attempts to create solid solutions of these complexes. A series of such compounds was prepared using various procedures and stoichiometries.

Group VA Aromatic Thiosemicarbazone Complexes: Synthesis, Characterization, Biological Activity, and Topological Studies.

The antiproliferative and antibacterial activities of thiosemicarbazones increase markedly with the presence of metal ions. One of the factors determining the activity of metal thiosemicarbazone complexes is the coordination structure. In this study, the biological effects of new antimony (III) and bismuth (III) thiosemicarbazone complexes with different binding modes and geometrical structures were demonstrated.
