Article Abstract
We report the synthesis and characterisation of mono- and di-nuclear cobalt(ii) complexes (1-3) containing L1, a polypyridyl ligand with pyrazole moieties. DNA binding studies suggest that the mono-nuclear complex, 1, binds to DNA via the grooves prior to inducing oxidative DNA cleavage whereas the larger di-nuclear complexes, 2 and 3, bind to DNA via the grooves and through intercalation prior to inducing oxidative DNA cleavage. The cobalt(ii) complexes display micromolar potency towards U2OS (bone osteosarcoma), HepG2 (liver hepatocellular carcinoma), and GM05757 (normal human fibroblast) cells, comparable to clinically used platinum agents, cisplatin and carboplatin. The cellular mechanism of action studies show that the most effective cobalt(ii) complex, 2, enters U2OS cells, penetrates the nucleus, induces genomic DNA damage, and triggers caspase-dependent apoptosis in a p53-independent manner. This study highlights the potential of di-nuclear cobalt(ii) complexes as artificial oxidative metallonucleases and tangible cancer cell-potent agents.

Given that stomach cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death, there is a need to develop new drugs. Among various methods, metal-based coordination compounds are considered as an efficient strategy against this type of cancer. Similarly, the benzimidazole moiety plays a crucial role in biology; thus, various benzimidazole-based compounds have been found to be active as potential anticancer drugs and are currently used in clinical trials.

A novel coordination compound, [Co()(HO)], was synthesized from aqueous solutions of Co(NO) and the ligand 2-[(5-methyl-1,3,4-thia-diazol-2-yl)sulfan-yl]acetic acid (H, CHNOS). In the monoclinic crystals (space group 2/), the cobalt(II) ion is located about a centre of symmetry and is octa-hedrally coordinated by two anions in a monodentate fashion through carboxyl O atoms and by four water mol-ecules. A relatively strong hydrogen bond between one of the water mol-ecules and the non-coordinating carboxyl-ate O atom consolidates the conformation.

Metallogels built in a bottom-up approach by metal coordination and supramolecular interactions have important potential for the elaboration of smart materials. In this context, we present here the formation of supramolecular coordination polymers driven by the complexation of cobalt(II) or zinc(II) ions with polyoxometalate-based hybrids displaying two terpyridine ligands in a linear arrangement. Thanks to the electrostatic interactions between the polyoxometalate cores and metal nodes, the polymer chains self-assemble into fibers that physically cross-link to form gels above a critical concentration.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that [Co(HO)] reacts with two HO molecules to form [(HO)Co(OOH)(HO)] reactant complexes, which decompose through three distinct pathways depending on the relative orientation between the coordinated OOH and HO ligands. The reactive intermediates produced via these activation pathways include hydroperoxyl (OOH)/superoxide (O) radicals, singlet oxygen (O), and Co(III) species [(HO)Co(O)], [(HO)Co(OH)], and [(HO)Co(OH)]. The Co(III) species display from moderate to strong oxidizing abilities that have long been overlooked.

Reaction of 2-amino-5-iodo-pyridine (5IAP) with concentrated HBr at room temperature yielded 2-amino-5-iodo-pyridinium bromide, CHIN ·Br or (5IAPH)Br. The complex formed pale-yellow crystals, which exhibit significant hydrogen bonding between the amino and pyridinium N-H donors and bromide ion acceptors. Halogen bonding is also observed.
