Low-dimensional compounds containing bioactive ligands. XXII. First crystal structure,cytotoxic activity and DNA and HSA binding of a zirconium(IV) complex with 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxylic acid

A new zirconium(IV) complex, diaquabis(8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxylato-κ³N,O²,O⁸)zirconium(IV) dimethylformamide disolvate, [Zr(C₁₀H₅NO₃)₂(H₂O)₂]·2C₃H₇NO or [Zr(QCa)₂(H₂O)₂]·2DMF ( 1 ) (HQCaH is 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxylic acid and DMF is dimethylformamide), was prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. Complex 1 is a mononuclear complex in which the Zr^IV atoms sit on the twofold axis and they are octacoordinated by two N and six O atoms of two tridentate anionic QCa²⁻ ligands, and two aqua ligands. Outside the coordination sphere are two DMF molecules bound to the complex unit by hydrogen bonds. The structure and stability of complex 1 in dimethyl sulfoxide were verified by NMR spectroscopy. The cytotoxic properties of 1 and HQCaH were studied in vitro against eight cancer cell lines, and their selectivity was tested on the BJ-5ta noncancerous cell line. Both the complex and HQCaH exhibited low activity, with IC₅₀ > 200 µM. DNA and human serum albumin (HSA) binding studies showed that 1 binds to calf thymus (CT) DNA via intercalation and is able to bind to the tryptophan binding site of HSA (Trp-214).     

低维第五主族纳米材料的研究进展:从结构性质到制备应用

石墨烯的零带隙和二硫化钼载流子迁移率低的性质阻碍了它们在电子器件中的应用。单层黑磷的成功制备和磷烯的直接带隙、较高的载流子迁移率和负的泊松比等性质弥补了石墨烯和二硫化钼的不足,引发了人们对低维第五主族纳米材料的研究兴趣,使低维第五主族纳米材料在材料科学和光电子等领域快速发展。本文总结了近几年第五主族低维纳米材料的一些研究成果,结合理论计算和实验合成两个方面进行研究,分析了材料的结构和性能之间的关系,最后对上述材料的制备方法及应用情况进行了总结。低维第五主族纳米材料呈现出多种晶体结构、较高的动力学稳定性、丰富的电子结构性质和较高的载流子迁移率等特性。上述性质使得低维第五主族纳米材料在低维光电子器件等方面具有广泛的应用前景。
