Cancer remains a formidable challenge, requiring the constant pursuit of novel therapeutic agents and strategies. Scorpionates, known for their unique coordination properties, have recently gained attention for their anticancer potential. Traditionally applied in catalysis, these compounds have demonstrated notable cytotoxicity across various cancer cell lines, often surpassing the efficacy of conventional chemotherapeutics.

A series of seven-coordinated monoporphyrinate rare-earth(III) complexes featuring a novel tripodal tin-chelated trisphosphineoxide scorpionate ligand with the general formula [(TPP)Ln(PPhO)Sn] (Ln = Y, La, Dy, Er, Ho, Yb; TPP = 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinate) were synthesized by reactions of the potassium tripodal scorpionate ligand [Sn(PPhO)K] with porphyrinate rare-earth metal chlorides [(TPP)LnCl(dme)] (Ln = Y, Dy, Er, Ho, Yb) or porphyrinate lanthanum borohydride [(TPP)LaBH(thf)]. The complexes were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, and ion mobility mass spectrometry. All complexes emit weak red TPP-based fluorescence, accompanied by near-infrared emission of Er, Ho (rather weak), and Yb (relatively intense with a quantum yield of 1% in dichloromethane solution) of the corresponding complexes.

Scorpionate ligands have emerged as pivotal components in the field of coordination chemistry and catalysis since the seminal work by Trofimenko in the late 1960s. These species have demonstrated an extraordinarily rich tridentate coordination chemistry, enhancing the stability of metal complexes. In addition, they offer the possibility of modifying the chemical and electronical features as κ-ligands, providing a wide variety of potential substrates with multiple donor atoms.
