We have studied the factors that affect the formation of different metallosupramolecular architectures by metal direct self-assembly. A synthetic route has been developed to obtain mesocates or dihelicates selectively. For this purpose a series of five bisthiosemicarbazone ligands derived from 1,3-diacetylbenzene were designed and synthesised. Namely H(2)L(Me), H(2)L(Et), H(2)L(Ph), H(2)L(PhN) and H(2)L(PhOMe) with different substituents on the 4-N terminal position of the thiosemicarbazone strands. The Co(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes of these ligands were prepared by an electrochemical procedure. Crystallographic studies revealed the formation of mesocates for Co(II) and Zn(II) metal ions whereas the Cd(II) complexes gave a bishelical supramolecular structure. Therefore these bisthiosemicarbazone ligands enable the selective isolation of mesocate or dihelicate complexes by using a specific metal ion.

CuATSM, a copper(II) complex of a bis(thiosemicarbazone) of diacetyl, prevents oxidative cell death and acts as a neuroprotectant , prompting its evaluation to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other neurodegenerative conditions in the clinic. We recently demonstrated that CuATSM functions as a potent radical-trapping antioxidant (RTA), inhibiting lipid peroxidation and associated ferroptotic cell death by a noncanonical mechanism based on radical addition to the ligand backbone. Herein we report our investigations of the generality of this reactivity, which include studies of corresponding complexes of various other metals, including Co, Ru, Ni, Pd, Pt, and Au.

Article Synopsis
- The study synthesized a bis(thiosemicarbazone) ligand from thiosemicarbazide and a specific ketone through a condensation reaction.
- Metal complexes of this ligand were created using various metal salts, with their structures analyzed through multiple techniques like elemental analysis and spectroscopy.
- Molecular docking studies indicated that the ligand and its Ni and Cu complexes showed strong inhibitory potential against key enzymes, particularly the L-Ni(II) complex for acetylcholinesterase and the L-Cu(II) complex for glutathione-S-transferases.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the synthesis and characteristics of six thiosemicarbazone complexes formed by combining [MoV2OS] clusters with various bis-thiosemicarbazone ligands.
- Structural analysis using techniques like X-ray diffraction, MALDI-TOF MS, and NMR indicates that the type of spacer (flexible vs. rigid) between thiosemicarbazone units influences the nuclearity of the resulting complexes.
- Flexible spacers lead to the formation of binuclear complexes, while rigid spacers result in tetranuclear complexes.

The design of artificial helicoidal molecules derived from metal ions with biological properties is one of the objectives within metallosupramolecular chemistry. Herein, we report three zinc helicates derived from a family of thiosemicarbazone ligands with different terminal groups, Zn(L)∙2HO , Zn(L)∙2HO and Zn(L), obtained by an electrochemical methodology. These helicates have been fully characterized by different techniques, including X-ray diffraction.
