This article describes the synthesis, characterization, and biological activity of novel square-planar cationic platinum(II) complexes containing glucoconjugated triazole ligands and a comparison with the results obtained from the corresponding five-coordinate complexes bearing the same triazole ligands. Stability in solution, reactivity with DNA and small molecules of the new compounds were evaluated by NMR, fluorescence, and UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, together with their cytotoxic action against pairs of immortalized and tumorigenic cell lines. The results show that the square-planar species exhibit greater stability than the corresponding five-coordinate ones. Furthermore, although the square-planar complexes are less cytotoxic than the latter ones, they exhibit a certain selectivity. These results simultaneously demonstrate that overall stability is a fundamental prerequisite for preserving the performance of the agents and that coordinative saturation constitutes a point in favor of their biological action.

Bis ( ligand ) complexes of 6-methyl-2,2′-bipyridine (L) with copper(II) and palladium(II) have been prepared, and their structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry . In the formation of the complex fromcopper(II) tetrafluoroborate and L, partial hydrolysis of a coordinated fluoroborate ion to the hydroxytrifluoroborate ion occurs. The stereochemistry about copper in [CuL2OHBF3][BF4] is essentially trigonal bipyramidal with an axial compression. The nitrogens of the methyl-substituted pyridine rings coordinate in the axial sites. In [PdL2Cl][BF4] the coordination environment about palladium is square planar and one of the 6-methylbipyridine molecules functions as a unidentate group, the nitrogen of the methyl-substituted pyridine ring being uncoordinated. The average metal-nitrogen distance is 2.032 Ǻ in the copper complex and 2.042 Ǻ in the palladium complex. [CuL2OHBF3][BF4] is monoclinic, space group P21/c, Z = 4, a 9.005(2), b 17.868(2), c 15.298(3) Ǻ, β 104.13(1)°. [PdL2Cl][BF4] is monoclinic, space group P21/c, Z = 4, a 9.606(5), b 14.748(2), c 16.311(8)Ǻ, β 96.13(2)°.

Nuclear quadrupole resonance for the 35Cl nucleus has been observed in some chloro complexes of divalent copper. Square-planar complexes each show two resonance lines, with the following frequencies (at 77�K): (CH3NH3)2CuCl4, 10.780, 12.157 MHz; (C2H5NH3)2CuCl4, 10.817, 12.074 MHz; (enH2)CuCl4, 10.271, 11.901 MHz; and (C3H7NH3)2CuCl4 at 223�K, 11.290 and 11.781 MHz. NH4CuCl3, containing dimeric Cu2Cl62- units, has resonances, at 77�K, at 11.907, 11.993, and 12.448 MHz. The trigonal pyramidal anion in Co(NH3)6CuCl5 has two resonances at 9.642 and 10.352 MHz at 77�K. ��� These results are compared with previous results for copper chloro complexes, and the implications of covalent bonding are discussed. In particular, it is suggested that the long-bond interaction between units in square-planar complexes amounts to 7-16% of the bonding interaction within the units.

A series of Ni dithiolene complexes Ni[S2C2(CF3)]2n(n= −2, −1, 0) (1,2,3) and a 1-hexene adduct Ni[S2C2(CF3)2]2(C6H12) (4) have been examined by NiK-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) spectroscopies. Ni XANES for1–3reveals clear pre-edge features and approximately +0.7 eV shift in the NiK-edge position for `one-electron' oxidation. EXAFS simulation shows that the Ni—S bond distances for1,2and3(2.11–2.16 Å) are within the typical values for square planar complexes and decrease by ∼0.022 Å for each `one-electron' oxidation. The changes in NiK-edge energy positions and Ni—S distances are consistent with the `non-innocent' character of the dithiolene ligand. The Ni—C interactions at ∼3.0 Å are analyzed and the multiple-scattering parameters are also determined, leading to a better simulation for the overall EXAFS spectra. The 1-hexene adduct4presents no pre-edge feature, and its NiK-edge position shifts by −0.8 eV in comparison with its starting dithiolene complex3. Consistently, EXAFS also showed that the Ni—S distances in4elongate by ∼0.046 Å in comparison with3. The evidence confirms that the neutral complex is `reduced' upon addition of olefin, presumably by olefin donating the π-electron density to the LUMO of3as suggested by UV/visible spectroscopy in the literature.

A series of diastereoisomeric square planar nickel(II) diperchlorate complexes, [Ni(L)](ClO4)2{L= isomeric Me8[14]ane (LAα, LBα or LCα)}undergo axial ligand addition reactions with NO3-, Cl-, Br-, SCN- or ClO4- to yield six coordinate octahedral derivatives [NiL(X)x(Y)y].z(H2O)(X=NO3,Cl, Br or SCN; Y= ClO4; x = 1 or 2; y = 1 or 0 and z = 0, 1 or 2). The products have been characterized on the basis of analytical, spectroscopic, magnetic and conductance data. All the derivatives are unstable in open air except one derivative and revert back to original square planar complexes. Antifungal activities of the ligands and their nickel(II) complexes  have been investigated against some phytopathogenic fungi. The Chittagong Univ. J. Sci. 40(1) : 122-147, 2019
