Ligand field and polarity tuning of Fe(II) complexes for selective ROS-mediated anticancer activity †

HLHyewon LeeEwha Womans UniversityLWLucia Wiwid WijayantiSanata Dharma UniversityHPHyungbin ParkEwha Womans University

Key Points

  • The aim is to enhance the anticancer properties of Fe(II) complexes through ligand modifications.
  • Designed a new N5-type ligand with improved donating ability and reduced polarity.
  • Synthesized Fe(II) complexes with the modified ligand.
  • Analyzed the electronic structure to assess shifts in π-π* transitions.
  • The redesigned ligand significantly altered the metal-centered electronic structure.
  • Higher donor strength of the ligand led to improved selectivity in ROS-mediated effects against cancer cells.

Abstract

A redesigned N5-type ligand that strengthens the donating ability while reducing polarity was utilized to generate an Fe(II) complex. This modification reorganized the metal-centered electronic structure, producing red-shifted π-π* and...
