Treatment of the chelated palladium(II) complex, trans-[Pd(K2-Sac-CH2O)2].2H2O with one mole equivalent of the diammines (L-L), L-L = 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy),. ethylene diamine (en), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), or N,N-dimethyl ethylene diammine (dmen) in EtOH solvent afforded mixed ligand complexes of the type [Pd(K1-Sac-CH2O)2(L-L)] in 82-93% yield. While treatment of trans-[Pd(K2-Sac-CH2O)2].2H2O with two mole equivalents of the monoamines (L), L=pyridine (py), 3-methylpyridine (3-mpy) or 3-aminopyridine (3-apy) in EtOH solvent gave trans-[Pd(K1-Sac-CH2O)2(L)2] complexes in 86-89% yield The prepared complexes were characterized by elemental CHN analysis, .conductivity measurements,. infrared and 1H nmr spectra.

Seven new complexes [Hg(k1-ptt)2](1), [Hg(k1-ptt)2(dppm)](2), [Hg(k1-ptt)2(dppe)](3), [Hg(k1-ptt)2(dppp)](4), [Hg(k1-ptt)2(dppb)](5), [Hg(k1-ptt)2(dppf)] (6), and [Hg(k1-ptt)2(PPh3)2] (7) have been synthesized and characterized. The reaction of two moles equivalent of 1-Phenyl-1H-tetrazole-5-thiol (Hptt) with one mole equivalent of  Hg(oAc)2.xH2O in ethanol solution afford [Hg(k1-ptt)2] (1). Treatment of (1) with one mole equivalent of diphos (diphos : dppm, dppe, dppp, dppb, dppf) or two moles equivalent of PPh3 afforded a complexes of the types [Hg(k1-ptt)2(diphos)] (2-6) or [Hg(k1-ptt)2(PPh3)2] (7). The prepared complexes have been characterized by CHNS elemental analyses, molar conductivity, IR and NMR (1H, 13C and 31P) spectroscopy. In all complexes, the ptt- ligand is bonded through the sulfur atom of deprotonated thiol group, whereas the diphosphine ligands bonded as bidentate chelating and PPh3 bonded as a monodentate, to afford a tetrahedral geometry around the Hg+2 ion.   http://dx.doi.org/10.25130/tjps.24.2019.083

Addition of 2-aminobenzothiazole and substituted derivatives to mercuric acetate in warm ethanol leads to the high yield formation of [Hg{SC6H3XN(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]N)}]n resulting from loss of hydrogen and sulfur-carbon bond cleavage. Addition of phosphines affords a series of complexes in which the new ortho-cyano-aminothiophenolate ligands adopt three different binding modes.

Addition of 2-aminobenzothiazole (abt) and substituted derivatives to Hg(OAc)2 leads to the high yield formation of ortho-cyano-aminothiophenolate (ocap) complexes [Hg{SC6H3XN(C≡N)}]n (X = H, Me, Cl, Br, NO2) resulting from dehydrogenation...

This paper explores a dual inhibition of main protease (Mpro) and nonstructural protein 10/nonstructural protein 16 (NSP16) methyltransferase complex as the key targets for COVID-19 therapy. These are based on the new Schiff-base ligand that was obtained from the condensation of (4-chloro-3-methyl phenyl) hydrazine with 2-pyridine-carboxaldehyde and its novel Schiff-base metal complexes. These include Ni(II), Pd(II), Pt(II), Zn(II), and Hg(II). The newly synthesized compounds have been characterized using FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis. The results suggested that the Schiff-base ligand is coordinated as a bidentate ligand through the nitrogen atoms of the azomethine group and pyridyl ring. In addition, the biological activity of the prepared complexes was examined against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, and the results showed that the Zn(II) complex has the highest activity compared with other compounds. The active sites were found by looking at the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps of the above ligands and complexes.. The activity of the compound and its Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes against Mpro and NSP10/ NSP16 was investigated using a molecular docking approach. They showed excellent binding energies ranging from −5.9 to −7.2 kcal/mol and −5.8 to −7.2 for Mpro and NSP16, respectively. All conformers of the metal complexes were docked with the active site of the NSP16 receptor, showing a binding affinity of 100%. According to our knowledge, this was the first report of these metal complexes as dual inhibitors for Mpro and NSP16 of SARS-CoV-2.
