Synthesis and catalytic activity of cationic dinuclear palladium (II) complexes supported by thioether ligands containing two di-(2-picolyl) amine arms

Molecular docking-assisted investigation of Pd(II) complexes carrying “SNS” pincer-type pyridine-thioether ligand as potential drug candidates against COVID-19

“…When we look at the literature, various crystal conformation properties and application areas of both thioethers and their complexes attract attention. The properties of thioether compounds include medicinal chemistry applications, catalytic activity, lubricating effect, and biological and photoluminescent properties [ [30] , [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] , [35] , [36] , [37] , [38] , [39] , [40] , [41] , [42] , [43] , [44] , [45] , [46] ]. Our aim in this study is to reveal with theoretical calculations whether the SNS-type pincer compound and its metal complexes will be effective against target proteins of SARS-CoV-2.…”
