Cobalt(II) and cadmium(II) compounds with adamantane-1-sulfonic acid

In this work, the syntheses and characterization of two novel compounds of adamantane-1-sulfonic acid (1-AdSO(3)H) with cobalt(II) and cadmium(II) are reported. The results of single crystal X-ray analysis of the compounds revealed that adamantane-1-sulfonate (1-AdSO(3)(-)) in the monoanionic form plays different roles in the investigated compounds. Namely, while in compound [Co(H2O)(6)](1-AdSO(3))(2), six water molecules are coordinated to the cobalt(II) ion and 1-AdSO(3)(-) serves as a counter ion, in compound [Cd(H2O)(4)(1-AdSO(3))(2)], two molecules of 1-AdSO(3)(-) are trans-coordinated to the cadmium(II) ion as a monodentate (O)-ligand and the other coordination sites are occupied by water molecules. The obtained compounds showed moderate activity against Artemia salina.U ovom radu prikazana je sinteza i karakterizacija dva nova jedinjenja adamantan-1-sulfonske kiseline (1-AdSO3H) sa kobaltom(II) i kadmijumom(II). Rezultati rend- genske strukturne analize datih jedinjenja ukazuju da monoanjon adamantan-1-sulfonata (1-AdSO3 pokazuje različit afinitet prema Co(II) i Cd(II) jonima). U kompleksu [Co(H2O)6](1-AdSO3)2, šest molekula vode se koordinuje za Co(II) jon, dok 1-AdSO3 ima ulogu kontrajona. U kompleksu [Cd(H2O)4(1-AdSO3)2] dva jona 1-AdSO3 su koordinovana za Cd(II) jon kao monodentati u trans položaju preko kiseonikovih atoma, dok su ostala koordinaciona mesta zauzeta molekulima vode. Dobijena jedinjenja su pokazala umerenu aktivnost na Artemia salina

Synthesis, characterization, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity and DNA-binding properties of d-metal complexes with hydrazones of Girard’s T and P reagents

Abstract: In this work synthesis, characterization and crystal structures of 1, Zn(II) complex ([ZnL1(NCS)2]), with (E)-1-(2-oxo-2-(2-(quinolin-2-ylmethylene)hydrazinyl)ethyl)pyridin-1-ium chloride (HL1Cl) and 2, Bi(III) complex ([BiHL2Cl4] × 1/2CH3OH), with (E)-N,N,N-trimethyl-2-oxo-2-(2-(1-(thiazol-2-yl)ethylidene)hydrazinyl)ethan-1-aminium chloride (HL2Cl), have been reported. Zn(II) complex possesses a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry while surroundings around Bi(III) ion are extended pentagonal bipyramidal. Antimicrobial activity, brine shrimp assay and DPPH radical scavenging activity of both complexes, including previously synthesized complexes with HL2Cl ligand (Zn(II) and Ni(II)) and complexes with (E)-N,N,N-trimethyl-2-oxo-2-(2-(1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene)hydrazinyl)ethan-1-aminium chloride (HL3Cl) (Zn(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Fe(III), Ni(II)), were evaluated. For the most active complexes, cytotoxic activity against five malignant cancer cell lines (HeLa, A375, MCF7, PC-3 and A549) and normal cell line HaCaT, as well as generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), was tested.
