Abstract
Two complexes, [CuII(L1)(phen)2](ClO4) (1) and [NiII2(L1)2(phen)2(MeOH)2](ClO4)2 (2), with HL1, a ligand derived from protocatechuic acid (=2,3-dihydrobenzo[b][1,4]dioxine-6-carboxylic acid) and phen (=1,10-phenanthroline) were synthesized and characterized by C, H, and N elemental analysis, UV–vis, FT-IR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, which revealed that 1 is mononuclear and 2 is dinuclear. Both complexes crystallized in monoclinic space group C2/c. The urease inhibitory activity and in vitro cytotoxic activity of 1 and 2 were tested. The complexes showed strong inhibitory activity against jack bean urease and significantly suppressed the growth of A549, L929, and SW620 cell lines.
