The present study describes the synthesis and anticancer activity of novel octahedral Pt(IV) complexes with cyclohexyl functionalized ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetate-type ligands. Molecular mechanics calculations and density functional theory analysis revealed that s-cis is the preferred geometry of these Pt(IV) complexes with tetradentate-coordinated (S,S)-ethylenediamine-N,N'-di-2-(3-cyclohexyl)propanoate. The viability of cancer cell lines (U251 human glioma, C6 rat glioma, L929 mouse fibrosarcoma, and B16 human melanoma) was assessed by measuring mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity and lactate dehydrogenase release. Cell-cycle distribution, oxidative stress, caspase activation, and induction of autophagy were analyzed by flow cytometry using appropriate fluorescent reporter dyes. The cytotoxic activity of novel Pt(IV) complexes against various cancer cell lines (IC(50) range: 1.9-8.7 microM) was higher than that of cisplatin (IC(50) range: 10.9-67.0 microM) and proceeded through completely different mechanisms. Cisplatin induced caspase-dependent apoptosis associated with the cytoprotective autophagic response. In contrast, the new Pt(IV) complexes caused rapid, caspase-independent, oxidative stress-mediated non-apoptotic cell death characterized by massive cytoplasmic vacuolization, cell membrane damage, and the absence of protective autophagy.

Dicationic, -symmetrical, tris-chelate Pt(IV) complexes of general formula [Pt(trz)(N∧N)](OTf), bearing two cyclometalated 4-butyl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene (trz) ligands and one aromatic diimine [N∧N = 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy, ), 4,4'-di--butyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dbbpy, ), 4,4'-dimethoxi-2,2'-bipyridine (dMeO-bpy, ), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen, ), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (bphen, ), dipyrido[3,2-:2',3'-]phenazine (dppz, ), or 2,3-diphenylpyrazino[2,3-][1,10]phenanthroline (dpprzphen, )] are obtained through chloride abstraction from [PtCl(trz)] () using AgOTf in the presence of the corresponding diimine. Complexes show long-lived phosphorescence from LC excited states involving the diimine ligand, with quantum yields that reach 0.18 in solution and 0.

Aerobic oxidation of a dimethylplatinum(II) complex featuring 1,1-di(2-pyridyl)ethanol as a supporting ligand leads to the formation of two unexpected Pt complexes (in ∼1:1 ratio), neither of which results from direct oxidation typical for Pt centers supported by popular κ-(,) ligands. While one product features an isomerized Pt center stabilized by the κ-(,,) ligand coordination mode, surprisingly, the other product results from intramolecular activation of the ligand methyl fragment. Mechanistic studies, reactivity of model complexes, and DFT calculations reveal that the critical proton-responsive nature of the ligand allows formation of intermediates that result in a concerted metalation deprotonation (CMD)-like C-H activation at Pt.

Post-synthetic modification of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) is an attractive avenue to add complexity to already intricate systems. This remains an important, challenging topic that is under-developed. In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterization of a [2]rotaxane molecule featuring a ring appended to an emissive cyclometalated Pt unit.

Article Synopsis
- Transition metal complexes are used as luminescent probes in fields like optoelectronics and biomedicine, but their effectiveness is hindered by issues like photobleaching and photooxidative stress.
- The research introduces ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as a way to prevent photobleaching in a new Pt(II) complex, showing that it can enhance luminescence by scavenging harmful oxygen produced during exposure to light.
- This method of oxidative protection is adaptable and has potential applications in other coordination compounds, improving the stability of luminophores for broader use in scientific and technological fields.

Chemotherapy (CT) can significantly inhibit tumor growth, metastasis, and recurrence during cancer therapy. People have widely used platinum drugs in cancer treatment. However, as most chemotherapeutic drugs, platinum drugs still have shortcomings such as poor solubility, low cell uptake, nonspecific distribution, multidrug resistance, and adverse side effects.
