Abstract
One pot reaction of K2MCl4 with two equivalents of 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (dmtzsH2) and one equivalent of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) in MeOH/CH2Cl2 mixed solvents resulted in the formation of [M(dmtzsH)2(dppe)], M = Pd 1 or Pt 2 in 49 and 77% yield respectively. The same products were obtained in 54 and 80% yield on using two equivalents of KOH in EtOH/CH2Cl2 mixed solvents. The prepared complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductance, UV–Visible, FT-IR, 1H, 31P-{1H} nmr spectroscopy and 1 by X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure of 1 reveal that the two dmtzsH ligands function as monodentate binding to palladium through the exocyclic sulfur atom in a thiolate form, whereas dppe binds in a bidentate chelate fashion. The two complexes 1 and 2 were evaluated for their anti-cancer activity using in vitro methods against the MCF-7 cell line, a type of Breast cancer cell. The results indicated that both complexes exhibit a promising anticancer effect, IC50 values of 55 µg/ml at a concentration of 500 µg/ml. The stability and molecular reactivity of the ligands and complexes have been demonstrated through the utilization of density functional theory (DFT) and Hirshfeld analysis.
