Abstract
Palladium(II) complexes have been obtained from the reactions of the iminophosphine ligands, (L1-L7), respectively, with [PdCl2(COD)] and [PdMeCl(COD)] in CH2Cl2 at room temperature. The palladium(II) complexes were characterised using elemental analysis, electro spray ionisation-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), NMR (1H and 31P), IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction studies. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis for complexes 2, 7 and 8 revealed that the complexes exhibited a slightly distorted square planar geometry. In vitro cytotoxic study results show that the palladium complexes exhibit moderate activity and block the proliferation of WHCO1 cells with an IC50 range of 19.02-45.27 μM, and IC50 range of 10.03-68.54 μM for the KYSE450 cell lines.
