A series of seven-membered cyclometallated Pt(II) complexes containing a terdentate [C,N,N'] ligand (1a-1c and 2a-2c) have been developed as potential monofunctional DNA binding agents. By reactions of cis-[Pt(4-C(6)H(4)Me)(2)(μ-SEt(2))](2) or cis-[Pt(C(6)H(5))(2)(SMe(2))(2)] with imines 2-ClC(6)H(4)CHNCH(2)CH(2)NMe(2) (b) or 2-F,6-ClC(6)H(3)CH=NCH(2)CH(2)NMe(2) (c) the new compounds 1b, 1c and 2c were synthesized and characterized. Complex 1b and 1c were further characterized by X-ray crystallography. The cytotoxicity assessment of the seven-membered platinacycles 1 (1a-1c) and 2 (2a-2c) against a panel of human cancer cell lines (A549 lung, HCT116 colon, and MDA MB231 breast adenocarcinomas) revealed that the six cycloplatinated complexes exhibit a remarkable antiproliferative activity, even greater than cisplatin in the three human cancer cell lines. From a pharmacological point of view, platinacycles 1 (1a-1c) and 2 (2a-2c) may represent compounds for a new class of antitumor drugs. Electrophoretic DNA migration studies showed that all of them modify the DNA tertiary structure. Induction of S-G2/M arrest and apoptosis were also observed for one of the representative compounds (1c) of the series.

Reactivity of Schiff base-[C,N,S] pincer palladacycles: hydrolysis renders singular trinuclear, tetranuclear, and heteropentanuclear PdW coordinated complexes.

Dalton Trans

June 2024

Departamento de Química Inorgánica, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, E-15782 Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

Treatment of the Schiff base ligands a-f with Li[PdCl]/NaAcO in methanol under reflux gave the single nuclear palladacycles 1a-1f, with the metal atom bonded to a terdentate monoanionic [C,N,S] iminic ligand and to a chloride ligand that completes the palladium coordination sphere. Reaction of 1a-1c with silver perchlorate/triphenylphosphine in acetone at room temperature yielded the single nuclear complexes 2a-2c as the perchlorate salts, after substitution of the chloride ligand by a triphenylphosphine. However, reaction of a-c with Na[PdCl]/NaAcO in methanol at room temperature also gave compounds 1a-1c albeit contaminated with small amounts of the corresponding free aldehyde (mixture A).

Novel Ag(I) complexes (-) with phenolic Schiff bases were synthesized using 4,6-di-tert-butyl-3-(((5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)imino)methyl)benzene-1,2-diol (), 4,6-di-tert-butyl-3-(((4-mercaptophenyl)imino)methyl)benzene-1,2-diol (), and 4,6-di-tert-butyl-3-(((3-mercaptophenyl)imino)methyl)benzene-1,2-diol (). They were examined by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, H-NMR spectroscopy, XRD, cyclic voltammetry, conductivity measurements, and biological methods. The complexes are characterized by distorted geometry of the coordination cores AgNS (), AgNS () and AgS ().

Bis-Alkynyl Complexes of Fe(III) Tetraaza Macrocycles─A Tale of Two Rings.

Inorg Chem

August 2022

Department of Chemistry, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907, United States.

Reported herein are new Fe bis-alkynyl complexes [Fe(L)(CR)]BPh based on tetra macrocycle (L = HMTI = -5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-1,3,8,10-tetraene; ; R = CH (), CH (), SiMe ()) and tetra macrocycle (L = HMC = -5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane; ). These complexes have been characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, electronic absorption spectroscopy, and cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry. Spectroelectrochemical studies of and allowed for investigation of the Fe oxidation state, which revealed a strong dependence on the nature of the macrocycle for both the energies of the Fe to CPh metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) and the ν(C≡C).
