Crystal structures and anti-breast cancer activities of two new coordination polymers [Co2(bpdc)2(bibt)1.5](H2O)2 and [Gd(bpdc)2(Hbpp)](H2O)3

Abstract

In this work, by using the mixed-ligand approach, a pair of two-dimensional coordination polymers [Co2(bpdc)2(bibt)1.5](H2O)2 [1, bibt is in short of 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butane, H2bpdc is in short of biphenyl-3,4′-dicarboxylic acid] and [Gd(bpdc)2(Hbpp)](H2O)3 [2, bpp is in short of 1,3-di(4-pyridyl)-propane] have been achieved via a one-pot hydrothermal reactions and their structures are determined by SCRD (single-crystal X-ray diffraction) as well as elemental analysis. Furthermore, in vitro anticancer activities of coordination polymers 1 and 2 were studied against three human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-435, SKBR3, and MCF-7).
