Abstract

Six platinum(II) complexes of the type [Pt(PL)(AL)]2+, where PL is a bidentate pyridyl-1,2,3-triazole “click” ligand and AL is the R,R or S,S isomer of 1,2-diaminocyclohexane, have been synthesised and characterised by several methods including elemental microanalysis, proton NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The in vitro cytotoxicity of each complex was assessed in eleven cell lines, revealing moderate to good activity for complexes incorporating 2-(1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine.
