In vitro antiproliferative effect of vanadium complexes bearing 8-hydroxyquinoline-based ligands – the substituent effect

This is the first comprehensive study demonstrating the antiproliferative effect of vanadium complexes bearing 8-hydroxyquinoline (quinH) ligands, including the parent and –CH₃ (Me), –NO₂, –Cl and –I substituted ligands, on HCT116 and A2780 cancer cell lines.

Eight coordination compounds assembled from unexplored semi-rigid ether-based unsymmetrical tetracarboxylate and various dipyridyl ligands: structural variation, magnetic and photoluminescence properties

Eight new coordination compounds built by an unexplored semi-rigid ether-based unsymmetrical tetracarboxylate and varied dipyridyl ligands have been synthesized. Their variety of structures, photoluminescence and magnetic properties are discussed.

Aggregation-induced emission enhancement and reversible mechanochromic luminescence of quinoline-based zinc(ii)–Schiff base complexes

Conveniently synthesized quinoline-based zinc(ii)–Schiff base complexes exhibit remarkable aggregation-induced emission enhancement and reversible mechanochromic luminescence.
