In all compounds the coordination polyhedron of the metal atom is a distorted octahedron. The molecular and crystal structures of compound I, [Co₃L₆(H₂O)₆](ClO₄)₆ · 8C₂H₅OH (IIIa), and [Ni₃L₆(H₂O)₆](ClO₄)₆ · 8C₂H₅OH (IVa) are determined.     

Synthesis and study of cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(II) complexes with 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole

New complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) nitrates, chlorides, and perchlorates with 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole (L) were obtained and examined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray powder diffraction, and electronic absorption and IR spectroscopy.

Synthesis,spectroscopic, and thermal analyses of trinuclear Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) complexes with some sulfa derivatives

New bi- and trihomonuclear Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) complexes with sulfa-guanidine Schiff bases have been synthesized for potential chemotherapeutic use. The complexes are characterized using elemental and thermal (TGA) analyses, mass spectra (MS), molar conductance, IR, ¹H-NMR, UV-Vis, and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra as well as magnetic moment measurements. The low molar conductance values denote non-electrolytes. The thermal behavior of these chelates shows that the hydrated complexes lose water of hydration in the first step followed by loss of coordinated water followed immediately by decomposition of the anions and ligands in subsequent steps. IR and ¹H-NMR data reveal that ligands are coordinated to the metal ions by two or three bidentate centers via the enol form of the carbonyl C=O group, enolic sulfonamide S(O)OH, and the nitrogen of azomethine. The UV-Vis and ESR spectra as well as magnetic moment data reveal that formation of octahedral [Mn₂L¹(AcO)₂(H₂O)₆] (1), [Co₂(L¹)₂(H₂O)₈] (2), [Ni₂L¹(AcO)₂(H₂O)₆] (3), [Mn₃L²(AcO)₃(H₂O)₉] (5), [Co₃L²(AcO)₃(H₂O)₉] · 4H₂O (6), [Ni₃L²(AcO)₃(H₂O)₉] · 7H₂O (7), [Mn₃L³(AcO)₃(H₂O)₆] (9), [Co₂(HL³)₂(H₂O)₈] · 4H₂O (10), [Ni₃L³(AcO)₃(H₂O)₉] (11), [Mn₃L⁴(AcO)₃(H₂O)₉] · H₂O (13), [Co₂(HL⁴)₂(H₂O)₈] · 5H₂O (14), and [Ni₃L⁴(AcO)₃(H₂O)₉] (15) while [Zn₂L¹(AcO)₂(H₂O)₂] (4), [Zn₃L²(AcO)₃(H₂O)₃] · 2H₂O (8), [Zn₃L³(AcO)₃(H₂O)₃] · 3H₂O (12), and [Zn₃L⁴(AcO)₃(H₂O)₃] · 2H₂O (16) are tetrahedral. The electron spray ionization (ESI) MS of the complexes showed isotope ion peaks of [M]⁺ and fragments supporting the formulation.

Summary The following coordination compounds derived from 2-guanidinobenzimidazole (2GB) (1); [Ni(2GB)₂]Cl₂· H₂O, (2); [Ni(2GB)₂]Br₂·3H₂O, (3); [Ni(2GB)₂-(NO₃)₂, (4); [Ni(2GB)₂](OAc)₂, (5); [Cu(2GB)Cl₂], (6); [Cu(2GB)Br₂], (7); [Cu(2GB)₂]Br₂·2H₂O, (8); [Cu(2GB)₂](NO₃)₂·H₂O, (9); [Cu(2GB)₂](OAc)₂· H₂O, (10); [Zn(2GB)Cl₂]·H₂O, (11); [Zn(2GB)Br₂]·H₂O, (12); [Co(2GB)Cl₂(H₂O)₂]·5H₂O, (13); [Co-(2GB)₂Cl₂]·3H₂O, (14); [Co(2GB)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂· 4H₂O, (15); and [Co(2GB)₂(H₂O)₂](OAc)₂, (16) have been synthesized and characterized by i.r. and electronic spectroscopy. In addition (6)–(10) were analysed by e.p.r. The X-ray diffraction structure of compound (4) was obtained. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, C2/c (a = 22.511(7), b = 6.735(6) and c= 15.345(5)Å, =115.31(3)°, Z = 4, final R = 0.0360 and R _w = 0.0388 for 1167 observed independent reflections). The nickel(II) atom coordinates two ligands in a square-planar geometry through the imidazolic N(3) and the guanidino N(12).The probable ligand isomers involved in the coordination were determined by theoretical calculations, and the possible structures of the coordination compounds were investigated in order to verify that the experimentally proposed structures were stable. Two different types of coordination compounds were found. One, where the ligand is chelating through the imidazolic N(3) and the guanidino N(12), which is the case for most of the complexes [(2)–(13)]. With only one ligand in the coordination sphere, the structure was either tetrahedral (copper and zinc chloride and bromide complexes) or octahedral (cobalt). With two chelating 2GB units a square-planar geometry was stabilized [(2)–(5) and (8)–(10)]. The second type of coordination behaviour was observed in the cobalt compounds [(14)–(16)]. Here the ligand coordinates monodentate through the imidazolic N(3); the structure is tetrahedral.     

Cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(II) complexes of 14-membered hexaazamacrocycles: synthesis and characterization

Cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(II) complexes containing 5,12-di(4-bromophenyl)-7,14-dimethyl-1,2,4,8,9,11-hexaazacyclotetradeca-7,14-diene-3,10-dione (H₂L¹) and 5,12-diphenyl-7,14-dimethyl-1,2,4,8,9,11-hexaazacyclotetradeca-7,14-diene-3,10-dione (H₂L²) have been synthesized. All complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, MALDI TOF-MS spectrometry, and electronic absorption spectroscopy. The crystal structures of two compounds, [Cu₂(H₂L¹)Cl₄]_n and [NiL²], were determined by X-ray powder diffraction. In the polymeric [Cu₂(H₂L¹)Cl₄]_n, the Cu₂Cl₄ units and H₂L¹ molecules are situated on inversion centers. Each Cu(II) has a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environment formed by N and O from H₂L¹ [Cu–N 2.340(14)?Å, Cu–O 1.952(11)?Å], two bridging chlorides [Cu–Cl 2.332(5), 2.279(5)?Å] and one terminal chloride [Cu–Cl 2.320(6)?Å]. In the [NiL²] complex, the Ni(II) situated on inversion center has a distorted square-planar coordination environment formed by four nitrogens from L² [Ni–N 1.860(11), 1.900(11)?Å].     

Trigonal (-3) symmetry octahedral lanthanide(III) complexes of zwitterionic tripodal ligands: luminescence and magnetism

Sandwich coordination complexes, [Ln^III(H₃L)₂]X₃?solvents, of Tb(III), Eu(III), Dy(III), Ho(III) and Er(III) were prepared with two new zwitterionic ester-substituted tripodal amine ligands, tris((2-hydroxy-5-n-butyl benzoate)aminoethyl)-amine (H₃L¹) and tris((2-hydroxy-5-methyl benzoate)aminoethyl)-amine (H₃L²). These ligands were synthesised by condensation of the appropriately substituted salicylaldehyde with tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) followed by in situ reduction of the tris-imine to tris-amine. Subsequent 2:1 reaction with lanthanide(III) ions yields [Ln^III(H₃L)₂]X₃?solvents (L = L¹, L²; X = Cl^?, NO₃^?; solvents = MeOH or H₂O). All complexes were characterised by microanalysis, infrared spectroscopy, high resolution mass spectrometry and solid-state photoluminescence measurements. The crystal structures of [Tb^III(H₃L¹)₂]Cl₃·6MeOH, [Dy(H₃L¹)₂]Cl₃·6MeOH, [Eu^III(H₃L¹)₂]Cl₃·6MeOH and [Tb^III(H₃L¹)₂](NO₃)₃ reveal high-crystallographic ?3 symmetry at the O₆-coordinated octahedral lanthanide(III) ions and that the tripodal ligands are bound in zwitterionic form: the protons from the phenolic oxygens have migrated to the amino nitrogens. Photoluminescence measurements indicate various degrees of energy transfer of the ligand chromophore to the lanthanide ions, as both ligand and lanthanide emission features are observed. Despite the high-crystallographic symmetry and the likely small transverse magnetic anisotropy of the complexes, no evidence of slow relaxation of the magnetisation, characteristic of a single-molecule magnet, was observed for [Tb^III(H₃L¹)₂]Cl₃·MeOH·3H₂O, [Dy^III(H₃L¹)₂]Cl₃·6H₂O, [Ho^III(H₃L¹)₂](NO₃)₃·2H₂O, [Er^III(H₃L¹)₂]·H₂O and [Tb^III(H₃L¹)₂](NO₃)₃ down to 2.0 K.     

Heterobinuclear and Heterotrinuclear complexes of Oxorhenium(V) with Cu(II), Ni(II), Fe(III), UO2(VI) and Th(IV) in the solid state

New heteronuclear complexes containing oxorhenium(V), Cu(II), Ni(II), Fe(III), UO₂(VI) and Th(IV) ions were prepared by the reaction of the complex ligand, [ReO(H₄L)Cl]Cl₂, where H₄L = 8,17-dimethyl-6,15-dioxo-5,7,14,16-tetrahydrodibenzo[a,h][14]annulene-2,11-dicarboxylic acid, with the previous transition and actinide salts. Three heteronuclear Cu(II) complexes were isolated depending on the ratio of [ReO(H₄L)Cl]Cl₂?:?Cu(II) ion. When the ratios were 1?:?0.5, 1?:?1 and 1?:?2, the heteronuclear complexes {[ReO(H₃L)Cl]₂CuCl₂(OH₂)₂}SO₄ · H₂O (I), [ReO(H₃L)Cl₂Cu(OH₂)₂(SO₄)] (II) and {ReO(H₂L)Cl[Cu(OH₂)₃ SO₄]₂} (III) were obtained, respectively. Heteronuclear complexes of the other metal cations were obtained by mixing [ReO(H₄L)Cl]Cl₂ with the metal salt in the ratio 1?:?1 to obtain the heteronuclear complexes [ReO(H₃L)Cl₂Ni(OH₂)₂](NO₃)₂ (IV), [ReO(H₃L)Cl₃Fe(OH₂)₃](NO₃)₂ (V), [ReO(H₃L)ClUO₂(NO₃)₂ (OH₂)]Cl (VI) and [ReO(H₃L)Cl₃Th(NO₃)₂(OH₂)]NO₃ · 2H₂O (VII). The complex ligand coordinates with the heterometal ion via the carboxylate group, and the infrared bands ν_as COO and ν_s COO indicate that the carboxylate acts as a unidentate ligand to the heterometal cations. Cu(II) and Fe(III) cations in the heteronuclear complexes have octahedral geometry, while Ni(II) is square planar. Thermal studies explored the possibility of obtaining new heteronuclear complexes pyrolytically in the solid state from the corresponding mother complexes. The structures of the complexes were elucidated by conductance, IR and electronic spectra, magnetic moments, ¹H NMR and TG-DSC measurements as well as by mass spectroscopy.     

Crystal structure, spectroscopy and magnetism of trinuclear nickel(II), cobalt(II) complexes and their solid solution

Four new complexes [Ni₃(μ-L)₆(H₂O)₆](NO₃)₆·6H₂O (1), [Co₃(μ-L)₆(H₂O)₆](NO₃)₆·6H₂O (2), [Ni₃(μ-L)₆(H₂O)₄(CH₃OH)₂](NO₃)₆·4H₂O (3), [Co₃(μ-L)₆(H₂O)₄(CH₃OH)₂](NO₃)₆·4H₂O (4) (L = 4-amino-3,5-dimethanyl-1,2,4-triazole) were synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The structural analyses show that complex 1 and 2 are isomorphous; complex 3 and 4 are isomorphous. Four complexes all consist of the linear trinuclear cations ([M₃(μ-L)₆(H₂O)₆]⁶⁺ (M = Ni,Co) for 1 and 2; [M₃(μ-L)₆(H₂O)₄(CH₃OH)₂]⁶⁺ (M = Ni,Co) for 3 and 4), NO₃⁻ anions and crystallized water molecules. In the trinuclear cations, the central M(II) ions and two terminal M(II) ions are bridged by three triazole ligands. Other eleven solid solution compounds which are isomorphous with complex 3 and 4 were obtained by using different ratio of Ni(II) and Co(II) ions as reactants and ICP result indicates that ligand L has higher selectivity of Ni(II) ions than that of Co(II) ions. The magnetic analysis was carried out by using the isotropic spin Hamiltonian ? = −2J(?₁?₂ + ?₂?₃) (for complexes 1 and 3) and simultaneously considering the temperature dependent g factor (for complexes 2 and 4). Both the UV-Vis spectra and the magnetic properties of the solid solutions can be altered systematically by adjusting the Co(II)/Ni(II) ratio.     

Copper(II), Cobalt(II), and Nickel(II) Complexes of two Novel Pyridine‐derived Macrocyclic Ligands bearing o‐ and pNitrobenzyl Pendant Groups

The pendant‐armed ligands L¹ and L² were synthesized by N‐alkylation of the four secondary amine groups of the macrocyclic precursor L using o‐nitrobenzylbromide (L¹) and p‐nitrobenzylbromide (L²). Nitrates and perchlorates of Cu^II, Ni^II and Co^II were used to synthesize the metal complexes of both ligands and the complexes were characterized by microanalysis, MS‐FAB, conductivity measurements, IR and UV‐Vis spectroscopy and magnetic studies. The crystal structures of L¹, [CuL¹](ClO₄)₂·CH₃CN·H₂O, [CuL²](ClO₄)₂·6CH₃CN, [CuL²][Cu(NO₃)₄]·5CH₃CN·0.5CH₃OH and [NiL²](ClO₄)₂·3CH₃CN·H₂O were determined by single crystal X‐ray crystallography. These structural analysis reveal the free ligand L¹, three mononuclear endomacrocyclic complexes {[CuL¹](ClO₄)₂·CH₃CN·H₂O, [CuL²](ClO₄)₂·6CH₃CN and [NiL²](ClO₄)₂·3CH₃CN·H₂O} and one binuclear complex {[CuL²][Cu(NO₃)₄]·5CH₃CN·0.5CH₃OH} in which one of the metals is in the macrocyclic framework and the other metal is outside the ligand cavity and coordinated to four nitrate ions.

The present work describes the preparation and characterization of some metal ion complexes derived from 4-formylpyridine-⁴ N-(2-pyridyl)thiosemicarbazone (HFPTS). The complexes have the formula; [Cd(HFPTS)₂H₂O]Cl₂, [CoCl₂(HPTS)]·H₂O, [Cu₂Cl₄(HPTS)]·H₂O, [Fe (HPTS)₂Cl₂]Cl·3H₂O, [Hg(HPTS)Cl₂]·4H₂O, [Mn(HPTS)Cl₂]·5H₂O, [Ni(HPTS)Cl₂]·2H₂O, [UO₂(FPTS)₂(H₂O)]·3H₂O. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, spectral (IR, ¹H-NMR and UV–Vis), thermal and magnetic moment measurements. The neutral bidentate coordination mode is major for the most investigated complexes. A mononegative bidentate for UO₂(II), and neutral tridentate for Cu(II). The tetrahedral arrangement is proposed for most investigated complexes. The biological investigation displays the toxic activity of Hg(II) and UO₂(II) complexes, whereas the ligand displays the lowest inhibition activity toward the most investigated microorganisms.

A bidentate NO donor Schiff base, 2-(((2-chloro-5- (trifluoromethyl)phenyl)imino)methyl) phenol ( HL ¹ ) and its complexes [Co(L¹)₂(H₂O)₂] ( 1 ), [Cu(L¹)₂] ( 2 ), [Mn(L¹)₂(H₂O)₂] ( 3 ), [Ni(L¹)₂(H₂O)₂] ( 4 ), [Pd₂(L¹)₂(OAc)₂·1.16H₂O] ( 5 ), [Pt(L¹)₂] ( 6 ) were synthesized and characterized by different physico-chemical techniques including elemental and thermal analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar electric conductivity, IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, UV–Vis, mass spectroscopies and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The molecular structures of ligand HL ¹ and two complexes ( 2 and 5 ) were confirmed by X-ray crystallography analysis on the monocrystal. In this complexes, the metal ions are in distorted square-planar environments. The copper (II) complex is mononuclear and crystallized in a monoclinic space group P21/c, whereas palladium (II) complex is dinuclear and crystallized in the trigonal crystal system R-3. The toxicity of the ligand and complexes was evaluated on both plant and animal cells, using the plant species Triticum aestivum L. and the crustacean Artemia franciscana Kellogg. At concentrations up to 100 μM the compounds presented very little toxicity on Artemia franciscana Kellogg. Moreover, the palladium (II) complex was devoid of any toxicity on the plant cells.     

Novel platinum(II) and (IV) complexes of naphthaldimine schiff bases

Naphthaldimines containing N₂O₂ donor centers react with platinum(II) and (IV) chlorides to give two types of complexes depending on the valence of the platinum ion. For [Pt(II)], the ligand is neutral, [(H₂L¹)PtCl₂]·3H₂O (1) and [(H₂L³)₂Pt₂Cl₄]·5H₂O (3), or monobasic [(HL²)₂Pt₂Cl₂]·2H₂O (2) and [(HL⁴)₂Pt]·2H₂O (4). These complexes are all diamagnetic having square-planar geometry. For [Pt(IV)], the ligand is dibasic, [(L¹)Pt₂Cl₄(OH)₂]·2H₂O (5), [(L²)Pt₃Cl₁₀]·3H₂O (6), [(L³)Pt₂Cl₄(OH)₂]·C₂H₅OH (7) and [(L⁴)Pt₂Cl₆]·H₂O (8). The Pt(IV) complexes are diamagnetic and exhibit octahedral configuration around the platinum ion. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis and IR spectra, electrical conductivity and thermal analyses (DTA and TGA). The molar conductances in DMF solutions indicate that the complexes are non-ionic. The complexes were tested for their catalytic activities towards cathodic reduction of oxygen.

Reaction of the N-(2-pyridyl)carbonylaniline ligand (L) with Cu(NO₃)₂, Cu(ClO₄)₂, Zn(ClO₄)₂, Ni(NO₃)₂ and PdCl₂ gives complexes with stoichiometry [Cu(L)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂, [Cu(L)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂, [Zn(L)₂(H₂O)₂] (ClO₄)_2, [Ni(L)₂(H₂O)Cl](NO₃) and PdLCl₂. The new complexes were characterized by elemental analyses and infrared spectra. The crystal structures of [Cu(L)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂, [Cu(L)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂, and [Zn(L)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂ were determined by X-ray crystallography. The cation complexes [M(L)₂(H₂O)₂] contain copper(II) and zinc(II) with distorted octahedral geometry with two N-(2-pyridyl)carbonylaniline (L) ligands occupying the equatorial sites. The hexa-coordinated metal atoms are bonded to two pyridinic nitrogens, two carbonyl oxygens and two water molecules occupying the axial sites. Both the coordinated water molecules and uncoordinated amide NH groups of the N-(2-pyridyl)carbonylaniline (L) ligands are involved in hydrogen bonding, resulting in infinite hydrogen-bonded chains running in one and two-dimensions.

A series of new pyridine carboxamide complexes and self-assemblies with Tb(III), Eu(III), Zn(II), Cu(II) ions and their luminescent and magnetic properties

In this study, we present eight new complexes and self-assemblies of Tb(III), Eu(III), Zn(II) and Cu(II) ions with novel pyridine carboxamides, L1 [methyl 4-methyl-3-(pyridine-4-carbonylamino)benzoate] and L2 [methyl 2-methyl-3-(pyridine-4-carbonylamino)benzoate], as heterocyclic ligands. Two luminescent and spatially organized coordination compounds were obtained with the use of the solvothermal synthesis method, (1) [Tb₃(L1)₄(BTC)₃(H₂O)₃] (where BTC is benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid) and (5) [Eu(L2a)₃(H₂O)₃](H₂O)₄. As a result of one pot reaction synthesis under reflux the d-electron metal ions and self-organization of ligands gave complexes (2) [Zn(L1)₂Cl₂], (3) [Cu(L1)₂(SCN)₂(H₂O)], (4) [Cu(L1)₂Cl₂], hybrid salt (6) [(CuCl₄)^2-(L2b)₂²⁺](H₂O), (7) [Cu(L2)₂Cl₂] and 1D-chain coordination polymer (8) [Cu(L2)₂(SCN)₂]. Identification of the obtained compounds was performed on the basis of the excitation, emission, ¹H NMR, FT-IR spectra, luminescence lifetimes, SEM images, PXRD, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, MS, TGA and elemental analysis. Selected compounds were also analyzed in terms of their potential magnetic properties.

Manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes with 4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3-carboxaldehyde

The complexes Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) with 4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-3-carboxaldehyde were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared and UV spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction patterns, magnetic susceptibility, thermal gravimetric analysis, conductivity and also solubility measurements in water, methanol and DMF solution at 298 K. They are polycrystalline compounds with various formula and different ratio of metal ion:ligand. Their formula are following: [MnL₂(H₂O)](NO₃)₂·2H₂O, [CoL₂](NO₃)₂·3H₂O, [NiL₂](NO₃)₂·3H₂O, [CuL₂](NO₃)₂·H₂O and [ZnL₃](NO₃)₂, where L = C₁₀H₆O₃. The coordination of metal ions is through oxygen atoms present in 4-position of γ-pyrone ring and of aldehyde group of ligand. Chelates of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) obey Curie–Weiss law and they are high-spin complexes with the weak ligand fields. The thermal stability of analyzed complexes was studied in air at 293–1,173 K. On the basis of the thermoanalytical curves, it appears that thermal stability of anhydrous analysed chelates changed following: Cu (423 K) < Zn (438 K) ~ Co (440 K) < Ni (468 K). The gaseous products of thermal decomposition of those compounds in air atmosphere are following: CO₂, CO, NO₂, N₂O, hydrocarbons and in case of hydrates also water. The molar conductance data confirm that the all studied complexes are 1:2 electrolytes in DMF solution.     

Novel 2-formylpyridine 4-allyl-S-methylisothiosemicarbazone and Zn(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(III) complexes: Synthesis,characterization, crystal structure,antioxidant, antimicrobial and antiproliferative activity

New zinc (II), copper (II), nickel (II) and cobalt (III) complexes, [Zn (HL)₂]I₂ (1) , [Cu (HL)Cl₂] (2) , [Cu (HL)Br₂] (3) , [Cu (HL)(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂ (4) , [Ni (HL)₂]I₂·H₂O (5) , [Co(L)₂]Cl (6) , [Co(L)₂]NO₃ (7) , [Co(L)₂]I·[Co(L)₂](I₃) (8) were obtained with 2-formylpyridine 4-allyl-S-methylisothiosemicarbazone ( HL ). The isothiosemicarbazone ligand was characterized by NMR (¹H and ¹³C), IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. All the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis, ESI-MS spectroscopy, molar conductivity, magnetic susceptibility measurements. X-ray diffraction analysis on the monocrystal and powder elucidated the structure of the complexes 1 , 5 , 7 and 8 . The ligand and the complexes were tested for their antioxidant and antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Candida albicans. Also, the antiproliferative properties of these compounds on human leukemia HL-60, human cervical epithelial HeLa, human epithelial pancreatic adenocarcinoma BxPC-3, human muscle rhabdomyosarcoma spindle, large multinucleated RD cells and normal MDCK cells have been investigated. The nickel complex 5 and cobalt complexes 6 , 7 showed promising antiproliferative activity and low toxicity.
