Sulfur- and oxygen-containing platinum(II) complex

Resumo

Mixed-ligand platinum(II) complex with ethylenedithiodiacetic acid (HSSH) and thioglycolic acid has been synthesized. Ethyleneditiodiacetate is coordinated to platinum through the sulfur atoms in the bidentate mode, whereas thioglycolic acid acts as a unidentate ligand which is coordinated to platinum in the cis position through the sulfur atom. The carboxylic group of thioglycolic acid is not involved in coordination. The complex exhibits cytotoxic properties.
