Alkylthiocarbamate Metal Complexes With Antiproliferation Activity., Kritika Bajaj
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Bis(thiosemicarbazones) (BTSCs) and their metal complexes have been extensively studied for various applications including catalysis for hydrogen evolution reactions, treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, hypoxia imaging, and a wide range of pharmacological purposes including antitumor, antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal agents. The paramount property that makes BTSC metal complexes interesting for their use in these applications is the reduction potential of the coordinated metal, which can be selectively tuned by varying the substituents present on the ligand framework. Although the BTSCs have shown a great deal of success as potential cancer therapeutic agents, they lack selectivity towards cancer cells. For this matter, …

Chemical oxidation of dinuclear gold(I) thiolates of the formula LLAu2(SC6H4CH3)2 [LL= dppp, bis(dipheny1phosphine)propane and dppb, bis(dipheny1phosphine)butane] and dinuclear gold(I) thiolate complexes with bridging a propane dithiolate ligand of the formula LLAu2(SC3H6S) [LL = dppp and dppb] was carried out using the mild oxidizing agent, ferrocenium, [Cp2Fe]PF6). Spectroscopic studies and elemental analysis showed the formation of gold(I) clusters, disulfide, and ferrocene as products of this oxidation reaction. The clusters, [(dppp)AU2(SC6H4CH3)](PF6) and [(dppb)Au2(SC …
