Article Abstract
Pd(II)-containing complexes exhibit considerable potential as therapeutic agents against cancer owing to their proficiency in selectively targeting neoplastic cells compared to cisplatin. In this context, we describe the synthesis of square planar palladium complexes of the general formula [Pd(L)] from imino-amido-based asymmetrical (NN) proligands (HL) and characterized based on melting point, CHN analysis, spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR, H NMR, C NMR), and ESI-MS. DFT computations are employed to elucidate the characteristics of the frontier orbitals and MEP analysis. In the current investigation, the precursors, proligands, Pd(II) complexes and cisplatin were systematically assessed for their anticancer efficacy against breast carcinoma (BT-474, BT-483, and BT-459) by MTT assay. Among the compounds subjected to evaluation, the complex [Pd(L)] demonstrated superior capacity in inhibiting the proliferation of breast cancer cells, exhibiting median inhibitory concentration (IC) values of 6.10, 9.01, and 7.20 µM than standard cisplatin (IC = 18.70, 19.40, 19.30 µM), respectively. Cellular apoptosis assessment of [Pd(L)] exhibited characteristic apoptotic phenomena including membrane blebbing and DNA condensation. Furthermore, electronic spectroscopy was used to evaluate the binding modalities of complexes with CT DNA, supported by the in silico docking studies. [Pd(L)] exhibited the mixed binding mode with a binding affinity in the range of 10 M.

The newly designed complexes of [[Pd(dach)(phendione)](NO) (1), [Pd(bpy)(phendione)](NO) (2), and [Pd(dpa)(phendione)](NO) (3) (where dach is 1,2-diaminocyclohexane, phendione is 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione, bpy is 2,2'-bipyridine, and dpa is 2,2'-dipyridylamine) were synthesized and characterized by various techniques such as FT-IR, H NMR, 2DH NMR, DO exchange, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The theoretical studies (DFT approach) supported the formation of these complexes. The cytotoxic effects of these complexes (1, 2, and 3) on two different cell types, ovarian cancer-derived CHO cells and NIH/3 T3 fibroblasts (normal cells), were investigated and compared with cisplatin.

In the frame of our research aiming to develop efficient triplet-emitting materials, we are exploring the role of the second coordination sphere in enhancing the rigidity of structures and its controlling aspect over the extents of excited state distortions. We thus synthesised three N^C^N cyclometalated complexes [M(L)Cl] (M = Pt, Pd, and Ni), where the two -positions of the pyridyl moieties in 1,3-di(2-pyridyl)-benzene are benzyl substituted (Bn) forming a tight binding pocket for the metal and the Cl ancillary ligand. The molecular structures from single-crystal X-ray diffraction show a markedly distorted square planar M(II) coordination with values of around 0.

-alkyl arylamines are important structural motifs in pharmaceuticals, yet traditional alkylating methods rely on the nucleophilicity of the amine and make access to such compounds with valuable bioproperties challenging. While metal-mediated reactions may alleviate these limitations, they often encounter amine-metal interactions that can hinder catalysis or lead to deleterious pathways. Herein, we report a palladium(II) [Pd(II)]/sulfoxide-oxazoline(SOX)/phosphoric acid-mediated C(sp)H/N(sp) cross-coupling of 53 arylamine nucleophiles and 39 terminal olefins to furnish >80 diverse tertiary (3°) arylamines in excellent yields (average 82%) and selectivities (>20:1 /, >20:1 linear/branched).

New nanographene ligands are indispensable for expanding the metal-doping chemistry of nanographenes. In this study, by incorporating an -dipyrrolylbenzene unit into the bay region of an iconic nanographene, hexa--hexabenzocoronene (HBC), we synthesized nanographene-fused carbaporphyrin(2.1.

Developments in organic synthesis over the past century have greatly enabled the discovery of life-saving medicines. In this context, over the past two decades, palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have transformed the exploration of emerging therapeutics. However, the cross-coupling between aryl halides and hydrazine, NHNH, the smallest bis-nitrogen nucleophile, has been a long-standing challenge due to the reducing capacity of hydrazine and the presence of multiple N-H bonds.
