Synthesis, characterization, and anticancer potential of pyrene-appended Schiff base tin(iv) complexes: experimental and computational insights

Abstract

In this study, we report the synthesis and comprehensive characterization of two novel pyrene-appended Schiff base organotin(IV) compounds, trimethylstannyl (E)-4-((pyren-1-ylmethylene)amino)benzoate (1) and triphenylstannyl (E)-4-((pyren-1-ylmethylene)amino)benzoate (2). They were synthesized through the...

Halogenated non-innocent vanadium(v) Schiff base complexes: chemical and anti-proliferative properties

“…Metal complexes incorporating Schiff bases have shown and continue to be developed for a wide variety of applications, from catalysis 1,2 to bioactive compounds with typical metal ions used for the bioactive complexes spanning Cu( ii ), Co( ii ), Fe( ii ), and Ni( ii ). 3–6 Non-innocent Schiff base vanadium-catecholates (V-catecholates) have interesting electronic properties with the potential for redox taking place not only on the metal center but also on the ligand.…”
