Synthesis and anticancer property of two Sm(III) compounds based on tetrazole ligands

Two copper(II) compounds derived from tetrazole carboxylates for chemodynamic therapy against hepatocellular carcinoma cells

“…Tetrazole carboxylates are bi-functional ligands with either flexible carboxylate groups or rigid tetrazole rings that have great potential for constructing a variety of coordination architectures. These ligands with abundant nitrogen and oxygen atoms have a high possibility to show diverse coordination modes, and the CH 2 is capable of favoring the carboxylate with flexible orientations, contributing to the formation of novel crystal structures ( Zou et al, 2014b ; Zou et al, 2014c ; Zou et al, 2014d ; Zou et al, 2015b ; Dai et al, 2021 ). In the previous study, tetrazole-based ligands have been universally employed as multi-building blocks for the construction of novel coordination architectures and in the fields of luminescence ( Zou et al, 2014b ; Zou et al, 2014c ; Zou et al, 2014d ; Yang et al, 2014 ; Zou et al, 2015b ; Sun et al, 2016 ; Zhang et al, 2016 ; Dai et al, 2021 ), catalysis ( Zou et al, 2015a ), and adsorption ( Wriedt et al, 2012 ).…”
