Two isomeric dinuclear Cerium(II) complexes 1 and 2, formulated as Ce(phen)(NO)(L) [L=phenylacetic acid, phen=1,10-phenanthroline] was synthesized under solvothermal conditions at different pH values. The two complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1 and 2 were studied the binding with DNA and against cytotoxic activity. Fluorescence analysis indicated that the two complexes can bind to DNA. The changes with different gradient concentration of DNA added into the complexes in absorption spectra show a strongπ-stacking interaction between the complexes and DNA base pairs. The Cerium(II) complexes showed good cytotoxic activity against cancer cell lines, being 2 the most potent complex. Apoptotic studies of the two novel dinuclear complexes showed significant inhibitory rate on cancer cell growth line KB.

Two-electron oxidations are ubiquitous and play a key role in the synthesis and catalysis. For transition metals and actinides, two-electron oxidation often takes place at a single-metal site. However, redox reactions at rare-earth metals have been limited to one-electron processes due to the lack of accessible oxidation states.

Organometallic multi-decker sandwich complexes containing f-elements remain rare, despite their attractive magnetic and electronic properties. The reduction of the Ce siloxide complex, [KCeL ] (1; L=OSi(OtBu) ), with excess potassium in a THF/toluene mixture afforded a quadruple-decker arene-bridged complex, [K(2.2.
