A series of heteroleptic copper(ii) complexes of the composition [Cu(L1-5)Cl]X, where X = ClO4 and/or PF6 and [bis(2-ethyl-di(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl))-(6-methyl-(2-pyridylmethyl))]amine (L1), [bis(2-ethyl-di(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl))-(3,4-dimethoxy-(2-pyridylmethyl))]amine (L2), [bis(2-ethyl-di(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-(2-quinolymethyl)]amine (L3), [bis(2-ethyl-di(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolyl)-(di(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl-methyl))]amine (L4) and [bis(2-ethyl-di(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-(5-methyl-3-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl-methyl)]amine (L5), were prepared and thoroughly characterized including single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The in vitro cytotoxicity of complexes against A2780, A2780R, HOS and MCF-7 human cancer cell lines was evaluated using the MTT test. The results revealed that complexes [Cu(L1)Cl]PF6 (1-PF6), [Cu(L2)Cl]ClO4 (2-ClO4) and [Cu(L3)Cl]PF6 (3-PF6) are the most effective, with IC50 values ranging from 1.4 to 6.3 μM, thus exceeding the cytotoxic potential of metallodrug cisplatin (IC50 values ranging from 29.9 to 82.0 μM). The complexes [Cu(L4)Cl]PF6 (4-PF6) and [Cu(L5)Cl]PF6 (5-PF6) showed only moderate cytotoxicity against A2780, with IC50 = 53.6 μM, and 33.8 μM, respectively. The cell cycle profile, time-resolved cellular uptake, interactions with small sulfur-containing biomolecules (cysteine and glutathione), intracellular ROS production, induction of apoptosis and activation of caspases 3/7 were also evaluated in the case of the selected complexes. It has been found that the best performing complexes 1 and 2 cause cell arrest in the G2/M phase and induce apoptosis via the increase in production of ROS, dominantly due to the overproduction of superoxide.

This report demonstrates the successful application of electrostatic surface potential distribution analysis for evaluating the relative catalytic activity of a series of azolium-based halogen bond donors. A strong correlation (R2> 0.97) was observed between the positive electrostatic potential of the σ-hole on the halogen atom and the Gibbs free energy of activation of the model reactions (i.e., halogen abstraction and carbonyl activation). The predictive ability of the applied approach was confirmed experimentally. It was also determined that the catalytic activity of azolium-based halogen bond donors was generally governed by the structure of the azolium cycle, whereas the substituents on the heterocycle had a limited impact on the activity. Ultimately, this study highlighted four of the most promising azolium halogen bond donors, which are expected to exhibit high catalytic activity.

Cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl based allenyliron complexes were prepared, and their formal [3 + 2] cycloaddition with a number of dipolar reagents was investigated as a means of preparing heterocyclic compounds in a regiocontrolled manner. In addition, the mechanism of the isomerization of an allenyliron complex to its propargyliron tautomer was investigated. Results in support of both radical and two-electron mechanisms for isomerization are presented.
