    Abstract: Metal complex of Nickel (II) containing a dithio-based ligand have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, Proton NMR and FT-IR spectrometry. A single crystal X-ray structure of the cadmium complex has been analyzed. The metal complex was subjected to biological tests on falcipain-2 (FP-2) and falcipain-3 (FP-3) cysteine protease enzymes from the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. They were further tested in vitro against chloroquine resistant strain (W2). Whereas the potency of the metal complexes was weaker than the control regarding the FP-2 and FP-3, the potency of metal complexes was found to be exceedingly greater than the control when tested against the chloroquine resistant strain (W2) with a strength ratio of (1.4). This paper describes the synthesis, characterization and biological results of the said metal complex containing deprotonated 3-[1-(2-pyridyl) ethylidene] hydrazinecarbodithioate ligand.

    Abstract: An improved method for the synthesis of the anticancer drug picoplatin is provided. Condensation of a tetrachloroplatinate salt (TCP), such as potassium tetrachloroplatinate, and 2-picoline, in a solvent, is catalyzed by the presence of oxygen, such as in air, and additionally catalyzed by the presence of a Pt+4 complex, such as potassium hexachloroplatinate. The oxygen can be introduced into the reaction mixture by sparging, optionally with high shear mixing and under an inert gas headspace. The product trichloropicolineplatinate salt (TCPP) is a key intermediate in the synthesis of picoplatin, to which it can be converted by reaction of the TCPP with ammonia.

  • Publication number: 20110190501
    Abstract: A dye sensitized solar cell, comprising a heteroleptic polypyridil complex of Ru, Os or Fe. The donating ligand has an extended conjugated n-system increasing the light absorbance and keeing the LUMO energy level higher than that of the anchoring ligand. A compacting compound whose molecular structure comprises a terminal group, a hydrophobic part and an anchoring group may be co-adsorbed together with the dye on the semi-conductive metal oxide layer of the photoanode, forming a dense mixed self-assembled monolayer.
