4-Methyl-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline) (MHPIP) and its complexes [Co(bpy)₂MHPIP]³⁺ (1) (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine), [Co(dmb)₂MHPIP]³⁺ (2) (dmb = 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine), and [Co(phen)₂MHPIP]³⁺ (3) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized and characterized by UV/VIS, IR, EA, ¹H, ¹³C-NMR, and mass spectra. The binding of the three complexes with calf-thymus-DNA (CT-DNA) has been investigated by absorption and emission spectroscopy, DNA-melting techniques, viscosity measurements, and DNA cleavage assay. The spectroscopic data and viscosity results indicate that these complexes bind to CT-DNA via an intercalative mode. The complexes also promote photocleavage of plasmid pBR322 DNA and were screened for antimicrobial activity.

Crystal Structures of (PPh₄)₂[Mn(N₃)₄] and PPh₄₂[Co(N₃)₃Cl] (PPh₄)₂[Mn(N₃)₄] and (PPh₄)₂[Co(N₃)₃Cl] were obtained as light-brown and green blue, nonexplosive crystalline compounds, respectively. They are only slightly sensitive to moisture and were obtained from the tetrachloro complexes (PPh₄)₂MCl₄ by reactions with silver azide in dichloromethane. The compounds were characterized by thier i.r. spectra and by crystal structure analyses. Both crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/c, Z = 4, but they are not isotypic.

The preparation of trans-[Co(NH₃)₄(CH₃NH₂)Br]²⁺ and trans-[Co(NH₃)₄(CH₃NH₂)-(NO₃)]²⁺ complexes is described.

Thermal decomposition of [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2

The thermal decomposition of [Co(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂ was studied under non-isothermal conditions, in dynamic air and argon atmospheres. The kinetics of the particular stages of [Co(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂ thermal decomposition were evaluated from the dynamic weight loss data by means of the modified Coats-Redfern method. TheD _n andR _n models were selected as the models best fitting the experimental TG curves. These models suggest that the kinetics and macromechanism of [Co(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂ decomposition can be governed by diffusive and/or phase boundary processes. The values of the activation energy,E _a, and the pre-exponencial factor,A, of the particular stages of the thermal decomposition were calculated.     

Thermal decomposition of [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2

Simultaneous TG-DTG-DTA studies on [Co(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂ under non-isothermal conditions were carried out in dynamic air and argon atmospheres in the temperature range 293–1273 K. Thermogravimetric measurements under quasi-isothermal conditions were also made.

Photogeneration of metastable side-on N2 linkage isomers in [Ru(NH3)5N2]Cl2, [Ru(NH3)5N2]Br2 and [Os(NH3)5N2]Cl2

Photogeneration of side-on N2 linkage isomers in [Ru(NH3)5N2]2+ and [Os(NH3)5N2]2+ is achieved by irradiation with lambda = 325 nm of powder samples at T = 80 K and detected by the downshift of the nu(N-N) vibration and by the heat release at elevated temperature due to the back switching of the side-on configuration to the ground state. The concentration of the transferred molecules is evaluated by the decrease of the area of the nu(N-N) or 2nu(N-N) vibrational bands. All characteristic changes between the linear Ru-N-N and side-on configuration are predicted by DFT calculations: the structure of the anion, shifts of the vibrations, electronic excitation energy, energetic position and sequence of the electronic orbitals, the potentials of the ground and relaxed metastable state with the activation energy, saddle points and energetic position of the minimum.

Synthesis, characterization and anti proliferative effect of [Au(en)2]Cl3 and [Au(N-propyl-en)2]Cl3 on human cancer cell lines

Two Au(III) complexes of the type [Au(en)2]Cl3 (2a) and [Au(N-pr-en)2]Cl3 (3a) were synthesized by reacting Auric acid (HAuCl(4)·3H2O) with 2 equiv. ethylenediamine (en) or N-alkyl substituted ethylenediamine ligands. This metallodrug was characterized by various analytical and spectroscopic techniques such as elemental analysis, UV-Vis, Far-IR, 1H NMR and solution 13C as well as solid 13C and 15N NMR. Potentiality of [Au(en)2]Cl3 and [Au(N-pr-en)2]Cl3 as an anti-cancer agent were investigated by measuring some relevant physicochemical and biochemical properties such as stability of Au-N bonds by vibrational stretching from Far IR as well as cytotoxicity and stomach cancer cell inhibiting effect, respectively. The solid-state 15N NMR chemical shift shows that the ligand is strongly bound to gold(III) centre via N atoms. The computational study of 2a shows that the gold coordination sphere adopts distorted square planar geometry with bidentate ethylenediamine ligands acting as a tetradentate chelate. While stable in the solution state, the in vitro biological studies performed with these compounds 2a in solution showed higher activity towards the inhibitory effects of the human cancer cell lines such as prostate cancer (PC-3) and gastric carcinoma (SGC-7901) than that of the N-substituted gold(III) complex (3a). Cytotoxicity of the new compounds has also been estimated in PC-3 and SGC-7901 cells.
