Abstract
New complexes of Pt(II) with condensation derivatives of ethyl hydrazinoacetate and either 2-acetylpyridine or 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde, and of Pd(II) with the condensation derivative of ethyl hydrazinoacetate and 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, and molar conductivity measurements. The complexes have a square planar geometry, ligands binding as bidentates in the neutral form, and the remaining two coordination sites being occupied by chloride ions. Biological activity of new complexes, and of previously synthesized Pd(II), Cd(II), Co(III) and Zn(II) complexes with this ligand type was evaluated by the brine shrimp test. All the complexes showed a moderate activity.
