Abstract: | Ag(2)(NH(3))(2)(salH)(2)] (salH(2)=salicylic acid) was synthesised from salicylic acid and Ag(2)O in concentrated aqueous NH(3) and the dimeric Ag(I) complex was characterised using X-ray crystallography. The complex is centrosymmetric with each metal coordinated to a salicylate carboxylate oxygen and to an ammonia nitrogen atom in an almost linear fashion. The two Ag(NH(3))(salH)] units in the complex are linked by an Ag-Ag bond. Whilst metal-free salH(2) did not prevent the growth of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans Ag(2)(NH(3))(2)(salH)(2)], Ag(2)(salH)(2)] and some simple Ag(I) salts greatly inhibited cell reproduction. SalH(2), Ag(2)(NH(3))(2)(salH)(2)] Ag(2)(salH)(2)] and AgClO(4) produced a dose-dependent cytotoxic response against the three human derived cancer cell lines, Cal-27, Hep-G2 and A-498, with the Ag(I)-containing reagents being the most effective. |
