Abstract:
In this study, a polyoxometalate-based inorganic-organic hybrid material, Na4[Cu4(Gly)2(HGly)2(H4W12O42)]Cl2·20H2O (1) (Gly = glycine), was synthesized via a self-assembly approach by incorporating copper ions and glycine into the paradodecatungstate anion [H4W12O42]8-. The structure and properties of compound 1 were systematically characterized using single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and UV-vis spectroscopy. Additionally, its anticancer activity was evaluated in vitro against human liver cancer cells (HepG2) and human renal epithelial cells (HEK293T) using the MTT assay, yielding an IC50 value of 36.232 ± 0.41 μM. The findings demonstrate that compound 1 effectively inhibits the proliferation of liver cancer cells, highlighting its potential as a candidate for polyoxotungstate (POT)-based anticancer drug development.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
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...
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly,...

Stereoisomerism
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...
