Research paper thumbnail of New vanadium complexes with 6,6″-dimethyl-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine in terms of structure and biological properties

The final form of vanadium complex in the solid state, either oxido (V(IV)) or dioxido (V(V)), was found to be contingent on the size of applied halide, as demonstrated by direct V–X interaction for small chloride (1) or ionic interaction for bulkier bromide (2). Depending on crystallization conditions, [VOLCl2] 1 forms polymorphic green or yellow crystals from MeCN or MeOH respectively. Compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, spectrometric (ESI-MS), electrochemical, (cyclic voltammetry) spectroscopic methods (UV–VIS, FTIR, EPR) and evaluated in terms of biological properties. Their cytotoxic activity was investigated in MTT assay and supported by absorption titration spectra suggesting the possible mechanism of action going through intercalative binding mode. On the basis of high binding constants Kbind = 4.4 × 105 M−1 (1) and Kbind = 1.0 × 106 M−1 (2) the relationship between structure of the complex and DNA interaction could be established, highlighting indirect impact of counterions on the final structure formation and thus biological activity. Flow cytometry analysis further confirmed the DNA binding based mechanism of action. What is more, compounds 1 and 2 are first reported cytotoxically active vanadium systems with 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine scaffolded family towards T47D cell line.

One N atom remains unprotonated. The conformation of the cation is enforced by intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is built of ca 10 A deep layers, within which cations and anions are hydrogen bonded. Each layer is only weakly bound to its neighbours. This study shows a rare example of an unsymmetrically protonated polyamine and the relation between the lack of protonation, intramolecular hydrogen bonding and the conformation of the cation.

The rich structure of such hydrogen bonds creates infinite layers of ions extending along the [001] direction. The tetracation has the gttttttg conformation, similar to the single previously known example of such a cation. The presence of two different anions can be connected with the undecided competition between them, and some of the packing advantages of such a situation are found in the crystal structure.

The temperature dependent and field dependent magnetic properties of 1-6 were modeled using the van Vleck approximation including the crystal field term HCF, the super-exchange term HSE and the Zeeman term HZE. Ferromagnetic interactions were found in 1, 2, 4 and 6, while antiferromagnetic interactions were found in 3 and 5. The erbium analogue reveals field induced SMM behaviour.

The complexes have been characterized by spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. The solid state structures of the complexes have been determined by X-ray diffractometry. Methylene blue (MB) degradation was studied by UV–Vis spectrophotometry. The new complexes of silver(I) are active photocatalysts of MB degradation under sunlight irradiation.

Obtained complexes were thoroughly studied in terms of their biological activity, with the positive antiproliferative outcome on three human cancer cell lines: human breast cancer (T47D), human cervical carcinoma (HeLa) and human lung cancer (A-549). Performed DNA binding experiments showed that given Ag(I) species specifically interact with DNA double helix via intercalation and were visualized by confocal microscopy to specifically bind to the nuclei. All newly synthesized helical systems exhibit promising antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus bacterial strains. Spectrophotometric properties were described as fulfilment of structural studies of newly presented complexes confirming their helical structure in solution.
