Unveiling Iron(III) Complex: Structural Elucidation, DFT Insights, Hirshfeld Surface Analysis, and Cytotoxic Activity
摘要
In this present research, coordination compound [Fe(pydc)2](Hapym)(H2O)2 (1), where pydcH2 is pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, Hapym is protonated 2-aminopyrimidine, has been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystallographic analysis reveals that complex 1 has distorted octahedral geometry with pydc coordinated as a tridentate ligand to a metal ion. The B3LYP/LanL2MB method is employed for DFT and TD-DFT calculations to examine the spectral properties and stability of the complex. The experimental findings align with the computational results. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots of the synthesized complex provide a comparative overview of the non-covalent interaction modes. Complex 1 shows high in vitro cytotoxic properties against A549 lung cells.
