Abstract: | The synthesis and spectroscopic (IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR) characterization of new complexes of Pt(II), Pd(II), Cu(II), and Hg(II) with the Schiff base ligand MeCONHCH(2)CH(2)N=CHPy (L) (Py=pyridine) are reported, together with studies on the cytotoxicities of these complexes, L and [ReBr(CO)(3)(L)] against human leukemia (MOLT-4), breast cancer (MCF-7) and Chang Liver (non-cancerous) cells. The crystal structures of [Pt(L)Cl(2)] (2), [Cu(L)Cl(2)] (4) and [Hg(L)Cl(2)](2) (5) are also reported. Of the complexes studied, [Cu(L)Cl(2)] (4) was identified as the most cytotoxic active derivative against cells of neoplastic origin (MOLT-4, and MCF-7), while having low toxicity on cells of benign origin (Chang Liver). |
