Chiral Mono- and α-Diimines and Their Pd(II) Complexes with Anticancer Activity

Abstract

The aim of this review is to provide mainly an outlook of the synthesis and characterization of chiral mono-and α-diimines ligands and their Pd(II) complexes carried out in our group in the last few years. Some other issues with simple chiral imines synthesized in our lab are also outlined. The report includes details about their versatile coordination patterns, biological activity in cancer cell lines, and engaging properties in different fields, such as materials science.
