Abstract

Copper(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes, [CuLCl2][ZnLCl2] and [CdLCl2], with a new derivative of chiral α-aminooxime of natural (+)-limonene bearing a pycolyl group (L) were synthesized. The complexes are mononuclear, the L molecules act as N,N,N-tridentate chelating ligands. The computations support the fact that the N,N,N–chelation by a metal ion is thermodynamically preferred over the N,N–chelation for all complexes. The ligand L and the complexes [ZnLCl2] and [CdLCl2] exhibit fluorescence, with the emission spectra depending on the excitation wavelength. L emits in close to white region, while the Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes demonstrate blue emission. Due to chelation-induced fluorescence enhancement effect, the fluorescence quantum yield increases when going from L to [ZnLCl2] and [CdLCl2]. The complex [CdLCl2] displays cytotoxicity against the HepG2 cell line (IC50 = 14.3 ± 1.5 μM), which is almost twice as high as that of cisplatin. The human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7) is more sensitive to [CuLCl2] (IC50 = 43.4 ± 0.4 μM) than to [CdLCl2].
