Homo- and heterometallic complexes of Zn(ii), {Zn(ii)Au(i)}, and {Zn(ii)Ag(i)} with pentadentate Schiff base ligands as promising anticancer agents

Abstract

Two families of homo- and heterometallic complexes, [Zn2L1(μ-OH)(H2O)2](ClO4)2, [Zn2L2(μ-OH)(H2O)2](ClO4)2, [Zn2L3(μ-OH)(H2O)2](ClO4)2, 1∞[{L1Zn2(μ−OH)}{μ−[Ag(CN)2]}](ClO4), [{L1Zn2(μ−OH)}2{μ−[Au(CN)2]}{[Au(CN)2]2}](ClO4)∙H2O, 1∞[{L2Zn2(μ3−OH)}2(H2O){μ−[Ag(CN)2]}](ClO4)3∙THF∙0.5MeOH, 1∞[{L2Zn2(μ3−OH)}2(H2O){μ−[Au(CN)2]}](ClO4)3∙THF∙H2O, and 1∞[{L3Zn2(μ−OH)}{μ−[Ag(CN)2]}][Ag(CN)2]∙H2O, respectively, have been synthesized and characterized. The Schiff bases used as ligands were obtained...

“…In recent years, polynuclear metal complexes have received considerable attention due to their functional applications in science and technology, exhibiting magnetic [1][2][3][4], fluorescence [5][6][7][8], optical [9][10][11][12], electronic [13], optoelectronic [14] and catalytic properties [15][16][17]. In addition, they are used in the treatment and diagnosis of various diseases [18,19], as well as in the components of sensors [20][21][22]. Among the diverse transition-metal polynuclear complexes, zinc complexes show unique properties and variable structural fluorescence [22] and catalytic [15,17] properties.…”
