Abstract:
The square planar Pt(II) complexes of the type [Pt(Ln)(Cl2)] (where Ln = L1-3 = thiophene-2-carboxamide derivatives and L4-6 = thiophene-2-carbothioamide derivatives) have been synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and various spectroscopic studies. MIC method was employed to inference the antibacterial potency of complexes in reference to free ligands and metal salt. Characteristic binding constant (Kb) and binding mode of complexes with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) were determined using absorption titration (0.76-1.61 × 105 M-1), hydrodynamic chain length assay and fluorescence quenching analysis, deducing the partial intercalative mode of binding. Molecular docking calculation displayed free energy of binding in the range of -260.06 to -219.63 kJmol-1. The nuclease profile of complexes towards pUC19 DNA shows that the complexes cleave DNA more efficiently compared to their respective metal salt. Cytotoxicity profile of the complexes on the brine shrimp shows that all the complex exhibit noteworthy cytotoxic activity with LC50 values ranging from 7.87 to 15.94 μg/mL. The complexes have been evaluated for cell proliferation potential in human colon carcinoma cells (HCT 116) and IC50 value of complexes by MTT assay (IC50 = 125-1000 μg/mL).

02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
