Structure and cytotoxicity of zinc (II) and cobalt (II) complexes based on 1,3,5‐tris(1‐imidazolyl) benzene

Three novel complexes, [Zn (tib)₂·(H₂O)₂]·(NO₃)₂ ( 1 ), [Co (tib)₂]·2NO₃ ( 2 ) and [Co₂(tib)₂(btc)]·H₂O ( 3 ) [H₄btc = 1,2,4,5‐benzenetetracarboxylic acid; H₂tib = 1,3,5‐tris(1‐imidazolyl)benzene], were synthesized and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray, IR and elemental analysis. The interaction of these complexes with FS‐DNA (fish sperm DNA) was monitored, and binding constants were determined using UV/Vis, which revealed that they have the ability to bind to FS‐DNA. DNA‐binding constants (K) for the three complexes were 2.2 × 10⁴ m ^?1, 0.7 × 10⁴ m ^?1 and 0.09 × 10⁴ m ^?1, respectively. The interaction capacity of the complexes with FS‐DNA has been investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. Stern–Volmer quenching plot values for complexes 1 , 2 and 3 were 0.3784, 0.1028 and 0.076, respectively. The viscosity measurement suggested that complexes 1 , 2 and 3 interact with DNA in an intercalation mode. In addition, anti‐cancer activities of these complexes investigated through MTT assays in vitro indicated that the complexes showed good cytotoxic activity against cancer cell lines. Cytotoxic activity of test complexes against two different cancer cell lines (HeLa and KB cells) showed significant cancer cell inhibition rates. Flow cytometry experiments and morphological apoptosis studies showed that the complexes induced apoptosis of HeLa tumor cell lines. Finally, a further molecular docking technique was employed to confirm the binding of the complexes toward the molecular target DNA.

Preparation,Structure, Spectral,and Magnetic Properties of Copper(II) Halogenonicotinates: Crystal and Molecular Structure of Tetrakis(μ‐2‐chloronicotinato‐O,O′)‐diaquadicopper(II)

The characterization of the complexes [Cu₂(2‐Clnic)₄(H₂O)₂] ( 1 ), [Cu(2,6‐Cl₂nic)₂(H₂O)₂] ( 2 ) and [Cu(5‐Brnic)₂(H₂O)₂]_n ( 3 ) (where 2‐Clnic = 2‐chloronicotinate, 2,6‐Cl₂nic = 2,6‐dichloronicotinate or 5‐Brnic = 5‐bromonicotinate) was based on elemental analysis, IR, electronic and EPR spectra, and magnetic susceptibility. Complex 1 was also studied by X‐ray analysis at 298 1a and 80 K 1b . The complex 1 contains a dinuclear Cu‐acetate molecular structure in which the carboxyl groups of the 2‐chloronicotinate ligands act as bridges and water molecules are at apical positions. The stereochemistry about Cu atom at both temperatures is typical for square pyramidal geometry with CuO₄O chromophore. The Cu‐Cu distance is 2.6513(8) and 2.6382(6) Å for 1a and 1b , respectively. The Cu atoms are displaced by 0.2069(9) and 0.1973(7) Å, respectively, from the plane containing four oxygen atoms bonded to the Cu atom toward the apical water molecules. Strong and weak hydrogen bonds as well as C–Cl···π interactions in the crystal structure are discussed as well. Both complexes, monomeric [Cu(2,6‐Cl₂nic)₂(H₂O)₂] ( 2 ) and polymeric [Cu(5‐Brnic)₂(H₂O)₂]_n ( 3 ), possess octahedral copper(II) stereochemistry with differing tetragonal distortions.

According to the crystal structures of seven complexes the ligand is O, S‐chelating in [Ni(L)₂(H₂O)₂]·2 H₂O, [Co(L)₂(CH₃OH)₂] and (with limitations) in [Pb(L)₂·DMF]. In the remaining compounds the ligand behaves essentially as a thiolate ligand. The platinum, gold and mercury complexes [TMA]₂[Pt(L)₄], [TMA] [Au(L)₂] and [Hg(L)₂] are monomeric. In [TMA][Ag₂(L)₃]·5.5 H₂O a chain‐like structure was found. In the asymmetric unit of this structure eight silver ions, with mutual distances in the range 2.8949(4) to 3.1660(3)Å, are coordinated by twelve thiosquarato ligands. [Pb(L)₂·DMF] has also a polymeric structure. It contains a core of edge‐bridged, irregular PbS₄ polyhedra. TMA[Au(H₂NC₄O₂S)₂] has also been prepared and its structure elucidated.

All complexes include [M₂Cl₂(pytbzim)₂(H₂O)₂] dimers, which are further connected into a three‐dimensional supramolecular networks through ?‐? stacking interaction and hydrogen bonds.

Cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes of quinoline‐2‐carboxyl­ate

The title complexes, trans‐di­aqua­bis­(quinoline‐2‐carboxyl­ato‐κ²N,O)­cobalt(II)–water–methanol (1/2/2), [Co(C₁₀H₆NO₂)₂(H₂O)₂]·2CH₄O·2H₂O, and trans‐di­aqua­bis­(quinoline‐2‐car­box­yl­ato‐κ²N,O)­nickel(II)–water–methanol (1/2/2), [Ni(C₁₀H₆NO₂)₂(H₂O)₂]·2CH₄O·2H₂O, are isomorphous and contain Co^II and Ni^II ions at centers of inversion. Both complexes have the same distorted octahedral coordination geometry, and each metal ion is coordinated by two quinoline N atoms, two carboxyl­ate O atoms and two water O atoms. The quinoline‐2‐carboxyl­ate ligands lie in trans positions with respect to one another, forming the equatorial plane, with the two water ligands occupying the axial positions. The complex mol­ecules are linked together by hydrogen bonding involving a series of ring patterns which include the uncoordinated water and methanol mol­ecules.     

Syntheses,Crystal Structures,and Photophysical Properties of Heteronuclear Zinc(II)/Cadmium(II)‐Lanthanide(III) Coordination Complexes based on Benzoic Acid

The heteronuclear d‐f coordination complexes [Er₂Zn₂(C₆H₅COO)₁₀(phen)₂] (1), [Ho₂Zn₂(C₆H₅COO)₁₀(phen)₂] ( 2 ), [Pr₃Zn₆(C₆H₅COO)₂₁(phen)₃] ( 3 ), [ErCd(C₆H₅COO)₅(phen)·H₂O] ( 4 ), [Ho₂Cd₃(C₆H₅COO)₁₂(phen)₂] ( 5 ), [EuCd₂(C₆H₅COO)₇(phen)₂] ( 6 ) (C₆H₅COOH = benzoic acid;phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline) were synthesized by hydrothermal methods, and their structures were studied by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Complexes 1 , 2 , 4 , and 5 crystallize in the triclinic space group P$\bar{1}$ and complexes 3 and 6 in the monoclinic space group C2/c. The room temperature IR, UV/Vis/NIR absorption, and emission spectra of the six complexes were determined and assigned. In the visible and NIR regions, the emission spectra of complexes show characteristic bands of corresponding Ln^III ions, which are attributed to the sensitization from the d block (Zn/Cd‐ligand section) and ligands. In comparison with isolated Ln^III ions, the NIR emission bands of complexes 1 – 5 exhibit shifting, broadening and splitting, which are also present in their UV/Vis/NIR absorption spectra. Thus, the two spectra of complexes can evidence each other.     

Hydrogen‐bonding and π–π stacking interactions in aquachloridobis(1,10‐phenanthroline)cobalt(II) chloride dichloridobis(1,10‐phenanthroline)cobalt(II) hexahydrate

The title compound, [CoCl(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)]Cl·[CoCl₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]·6H₂O, is the first example of a new 1:1 cocrystal of the octahedral [CoCl₂(phen)₂] and [CoCl(phen)₂(H₂O)]⁺·Cl⁻ complexes (phen is 1,10‐phenanthroline). The latter form heterochiral dimers held by strong π–π stacking interactions via their phenathroline ligands, which confirms that π stacking is an important and reliable synthon in supramolecular design. In addition, the crystal structure is networked by H₂O...H₂O, H₂O...Cl⁻ and H₂O...Cl hydrogen bonds, which interconnect the different units of the cobalt complexes.
