The structures of these compounds were investigated by 1H and 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy and elemental analyses. It was established that the binuclear complexes 1 and 5 are luminescent in the solid state at ambient conditions. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

They were character ized by single crystal X-ray diffractometry, and infrared and electronic spectroscopy. Both crystallize in the orthorhombic space group P2i2i2i with Z = 4. The Cu(II) ion has essentially the same elongated pyramidal coordination, being equatorially cis coordinated by a N2O2 ar rangement of ligand atoms and axially by a carbonyl oxygen atom. The compounds show rather similar polymeric structures that differ from each other basically in the dihedral angle between adjacent N2O2 planes. The infrared and electronic spectra are briefly discussed on the basis of the structural characteristics of the complexes. Superoxide dismutase-like activity was tested for both compounds.

The complex {tetra-μ-[(±)-2-(p-methoxyphenoxy)propionato-O,O′]-bis(aqua)dicopper(II)} crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n with a = 14.149(1) Å, b = 7.495(1) Å, c = 19.827(1) Å, β = 90.62(1) and Z = 4. X-ray diffraction data show that the two copper(II) ions are held together through four carboxylate bridges, coordinated as equatorial ligands in square pyramidal geometry. The coordination sphere around each copper ion is completed by two water molecules as axial ligands. Thermogravimetric data are consistent with such results. The ligand has an “L” type shape due to the angle formed by the β-carbon of the propionic chain and the linked p-methoxyphenoxy group. This conformation contributes to the occurrence of a peculiar structure of the complex. The complex retains its dinuclear nature when dissolved in acetonitrile, but it decomposes into the corresponding mononuclear species if dissolved in ethanol, according to the EPR measurements. Further, cyclic voltammograms of the complex in acetonitrile show that the dinuclear species maintains the same structure, in agreement with the EPR data in this solvent. The voltammogram shows two irreversible reduction waves at Epc = −0.73 and −1.04 V vs. Ag/AgCl assigned to the Cu(II)/Cu(I) and Cu(I)/Cu° redox couples, respectively, and two successive oxidation waves at Epa =− 0.01 and +1.41 V vs. Ag/AgCl, assigned to the Cu°/Cu(I) and Cu(I)/Cu(II) redox couples, respectively, in addition to the oxidation waves of the carboxylate ligand.

The cytotoxicity of compounds against lung and breast tumor cell lines was significant, where two complexes, [Ru(L3)(bipy)(dppe)]PF6 (3) and [Ru(L3)(bipy)(dppb)]PF6 (6), were selected to evaluate changes in morphology, inhibition of migration and cell death in the MDA-MB-231 lineage. The complexes caused alterations in the cell morphology and were able to inhibit cell migration at the concentrations evaluated, induce the cell cycle arrested in the Sub-G1 phase, and induced cell death by apoptosis. All the complexes presented interaction with HSA, and the interaction studies with DNA suggested weak interactions, probably by the minor groove.

It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1), with Z = 2. The Cu(II) ion is in a square pyramidal environment, trans coordinated at the basis by two argininate groups acting as bidentate ligands through their amino nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen atoms. The coordination around copper is completed by a water molecule at the pyramid apex. The infrared, Raman and electronic spectra are briefly discussed on the basis of the structural peculiarities of the complex.

The structures of complexes (2), (3), (5), (6) and (8) had their structures determined by X-ray crystallography, confirming the coordination of the ligands with the metal through sulfur and oxygen atoms, forming distorted square-planar geometries. These complexes have shown antibacterial activity against anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv ATCC 27294. The complexes exhibited antiparasitic activity against Trypanosoma cruzi, while the metal-free thioureas did not. The results demonstrated that the compounds described here can be considered as promising anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis and anti-T. cruzi agents, since in both cases their in vitro activity were better than reference drugs available for the treatment of both diseases.
