Complexes of Cu(I) and Pd(II) with (+)-camphor and (–)-cavrone thiosemicarbazones: Synthesis, structure, and cytotoxicity of the Pd(II) complex

Аннотация

CuLCl, CuL¹Cl, PdLCl₂, and PdL¹Cl₂ complexes [L and L¹ being (+)-camphor and (–)-carvone thiosemicarbazones, respectively] have been synthesized. The structure of binuclear [Pd₂L²²Cl₄] complex has been determined by means of X-ray diffraction. The L² ligand (dehydrogenated (–)-carvone thiosemicarbazone) is coordinated via the bridging S atom to two Pd atoms. The complexes of Cu(I) and Pd(II) presumably have polynuclear and binuclear structure, respectively. These facts are in good agreement with IR and NMR spectroscopy as well as mass spectrometry data which indicate the coordination of L and L¹ ligands via the S atom. The influence of L¹ and PdL¹Cl₂ on viability of the Hep2 cell line has been studied. The PdL¹Cl₂ complex is more cytotoxic than L¹ ligand.
