Syntheses and Anti-lung Cancer Activities of Zn(Ⅱ) and Cu(Ⅱ) Complexes Based on Triazole and Tetrazole,respectively

The reactions of 4H-1,2,4-triazole(Htrz) with ZnCl_2, 1H-tetrazole(Htez) and Cu(NO_3)2·6H_2O afford two novel coordination polymers respectively, {Zn_2(trz)_2(ox)](H_2O)_3}n(1) and {Cu_3(tez)_3(OH)_2(H_2O)_2](NO_3)(DMF)_4}_n(2)(H_2ox =(COOH_)2, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide). 1 shows 1D channels along the a axis filled with water molecules and 2 features a 2D bi-layered framework based on trinuclear Cu(II) units bridged by two μ3-OH groups. In addition, in vitro antitumor activities of compounds 1 and 2 on four human lung cancer cells(16HBE, NCI-H1299, NCI-H460 and NCI-H292) were further determined.
