Palladium(II) and Ruthenium(II) complexes bearing arylsulfonate based ligands: Synthesis, structural characterization and catalytic properties

p-Cymene Complexes of Ruthenium(II) as Antitumor Agents

“…Subsequently, it has been shown that the ruthenium(II) compound we described, [(η 6 -p-cymene)Ru(o-phenylenediamine)Cl]PF 6 [25], behaves as an antitumor agent against different kind of tumors [27,28]. Complex III was synthesized according to reference [29]. Furthermore, Pandey et al, in 1998 [30], described the structure obtained by X-ray diffraction of the [Ru(p-cymene) Cl (4-cyanopyridine)] complex, as well as the synthesis and characterization of the species with 4-cyanopyridine bridge: Ru(p-cymene)Cl2] (µ-4-cyanopyridine) [30] and in 2007, they also described the behavior of the mononuclear complex with terminal pyridine against DNA [31].…”

“…The solid obtained was separated by filtration, and repeatedly washed with diethyl ether. Complex III, as mentioned, was synthesized according to reference [29].…”

Catalytic and biological properties of palladium(II) complexes with bidentate Schiff base ligands

“…22 Palladium complexes, in particular, are extensively employed as catalysts in organic reactions, including but not limited to C C coupling, hydrogenation, esterification, oxidation, and C H bond activation. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29] They are also utilized in the development of anticancer drugs and biosensors. [30][31][32][33][34][35] Organic dyes find extensive applications across various industries, including textiles, plastics, pharmaceuticals, paper, and packaging.…”

“…Platinum group metals, including palladium, ruthenium, rhodium, iridium, osmium, and platinum, exhibit more specific properties related to catalytic and biological activity compared with other transition metals 22 . Palladium complexes, in particular, are extensively employed as catalysts in organic reactions, including but not limited to CC coupling, hydrogenation, esterification, oxidation, and CH bond activation 23–29 . They are also utilized in the development of anticancer drugs and biosensors 30–35 …”
