The synthesis of four new water-soluble bis(thiosemicarbazone) ligands and their copper(II) complexes is presented and their potential to be new ligands for copper radiopharmaceuticals is discussed. The ligands and complexes have been characterized by a combination of NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography. The electrochemical behaviour of two of the copper(II) complexes...

Owing to their physiological activity, thioamides are used in pharmacy [1], but no simple relation between the rate of their hydrolysis and microbial activity has been found [2]. Dithiocarbamates and their copper complexes which are chemically related to these substances also exhibit antimycobacterial activity [3]. Unfor­ tunately, only small attention has been hitherto paid to the complexes of...

Lead, copper, cobalt, nickel, iron and zinc ions form monocitrate complexes (negative charge) in citrate solution which is absorbed on the citrate form of anion-exchange resins (citrate as counter ion) y exchange of citrate ion with citrate complexes. These are subsequently recovered from the resin by 0.5M ammonium citrate eluent at pH 2.0. Under optimized conditions, quantitative recovery ...

Copper based nanoparticles have an immense potential in the future of anticancer therapy. Various copper inorganic nanoparticles and organic framework complexes have been extensively studied since the last decade for their effect on cancer cell growth inhibition and tumor regression. In this review we have summarised the anticancer activity of few such nanoparticles of copper and organo-copper ...

Two Cu(II) complexes, [Cu(L1)2](NO3)2 (1) and [Cu(L2)2] (NO3)2(2), which L1 and L2 Schiff base ligands are 2-(thiophene-2-yl) -1H-imidazo [4,5-f] [1,10] phenanthroline and 2-(furane-2-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f] [1,10] phenenthroline, respectively, were syn...

two cu(ii) complexes, [cu(l1)2](no3)2 (1) and [cu(l2)2] (no3)2(2), which l1 and l2 schiff base ligands are 2-(thiophene-2-yl) -1h-imidazo [4,5-f] [1,10] phenanthroline and 2-(furane-2-yl)-1h-imidazo[4,5-f] [1,10] phenenthroline, respectively, were synthesized and characterized by physico - chemical and spectroscopic methods. corresponded cuo nanoparticles were prepared by calcination of the obt...

nickel (ii) and copper (ii) complexes of highly unsymmetrical tetradentate schiff base have been synthesized by the template reaction of half-units n-(1-hydroxy-2-acetonaphtone)-1-amino-2-phenyleneimine (hl) and n-(2-hydroxyacetophenone)-1-amino-2-phenyleneimine (hl1) with the glyoxalphenylhydrazone. the complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, conductance, ir, 1h nmr and uv spe...

Copper complexes of [Cu(phen)(tda)].2H2O(1) and [(phen)2Cu(µ-tda) Cu(phen)](ClO4)2.1.5H2O (2) (where phen is 1,10-phenanthroline and tda2- is thiodiacetate) have been synthesized. Both complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Their solid state struct...

Copper-phenanthroline complexes oxidatively damage and cleave nucleic acids. Copper bis-phenanthroline and copper complexes of mono- and bis-phenanthroline conjugates are used as research tools for studying nucleic acid structure and binding interactions. The mechanism of DNA oxidation and cleavage by these complexes was examined using two copper-phenanthroline conjugates of the sequence-specif...
