Reaction of 5-phenyl-2,2′-bipyridine (L) with a mixture of CuI or [Cu(CH3CN)4]BF4 and PPh3 leads to [CuL(PPh3)I] (1) and [CuL(PPh3)2]BF4 (2). While solid state emission of L is due to the ligand-centerd π → π* transition, luminescence of 1 and 2 was assigned to a (M + X)LCT and MLCT excited states, respectively.

<div>The ability to locate minima on electronic excited states (ESs) potential energy surfaces (PESs) both in the case of bright and dark states is crucial for a full understanding of photochemical reactions. This task has become a standard practice for small- to medium-sized organic chromophores thanks to the constant developments in the field of computational photochemistry. However, this remains a very challenging effort when it comes to the optimization of ESs of transition metal complexes (TMCs), not only due to the presence of several electronic excited states close in energy, but also due to the complex nature of the excited states involved. In this article, we present a simple yet powerful method to follow an excited state of interest during a structural optimization in the case of TMC, based on the use of a compact hole-particle representation of the electronic transition, namely the natural transition orbitals (NTOs). State tracking using NTOs is unambiguously accomplished by computing the mono-electronic wavefunction overlap between consecutive steps of the optimization. Here, we demonstrate that this simple but robust procedure works not only in the case of the cytosine but also in the case of the ES optimization of a ruthenium-nitrosyl complex which is very problematic with standard approaches.</div>

Background: Mixed ligand-metal complexes are efficient chelating agents because of flexible donor ability. Mixed ligand complexes containing hetero atoms sulphur, nitrogen and oxygen have been probed for their biological significance. Objective: Nine mixed ligand-metal complexes of 2-(butan-2-ylidene) hydrazinecarbothioamide (2-butanone thiosemicarbazone) and pyridine, bipyridine or 2-picoline as co-ligands were synthesized with Cu, Fe and Zn. The complexes were tested against MDA-MB231 (MDA) and A549 cell lines. Antibacterial activity was tested against S. aureus and E. coli. The drug character of the complexes was evaluated on several parameters viz. physicochemical properties, bioactivity scores, toxicity assessment and absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) profile assessment using various automated softwares. Molecular docking of the complexes was also performed with two target proteins. Method and Results: The mixed ligand-metal complexes were synthesized by condensation reaction for 4-5 h. The characterization was done by elemental analysis, 1H-NMR, FT-IR, molar conductance and UV spectroscopies. Molecular docking was performed against ribonucleotide reductase (RR) and topoisomerase II (topo II). [Cu(C5H11N3S)(py)2(CH3COO)2], [Zn(C5H11N3S)(bpy)(SO4)] and [Zn(C5H11N3S)(2-pic)2(SO4)] displayed the lowest binding energies with respect to RR. Against topo II [Cu(C5H11N3S)(py)2(CH3COO)2], [Cu(C5H11N3S)(bpy)(CH3COO)2] and [Zn(C5H11N3S)(2-pic)2(SO4)] had the lowest energies. The druglikness assessment was done using Leadlikeness and Lipinski’s rules. Against topo II [Cu(C5H11N3S)(py)2(CH3COO)2], [Cu(C5H11N3S)(bpy)(CH3COO)2] and [Zn(C5H11N3S)(2-pic)2(SO4)] had the lowest energies. Not more than two violations were obtained in case of each filtering rule showing drug like character of the mixed ligand complexes. Several of the complexes exhibited positive bioactivity scores and almost all the complexes were predicted to be safe with no hazardous effects. All the complexes were predicted to have no mutagenic character as shown by the Ames test [Zn(C5H11N3S)(py)2(SO4)] showed potential activity against MDA. [Co(C5H11N3S(bpy)(Cl)2] was also active against MDA. [Cu(C5H11N3S)(2-pic)2(CH3COO)2] also showed 27.6% cell viability at 100 µM against MDA. Against A549 [Co(C5H11N3S)(py)2(Cl)2], [Cu(C5H11N3S)(py)2(CH3COO)2] and [Co(C5H11N3S(bpy)(Cl)2] were active. [Co(C5H11N3S)(bpy)(Cl)2] and [Cu(C5H11N3S)(2-pic)2(CH3COO)2] were active against S. aureus. [Co(C5H11N3S)(2-pic)2(Cl)2] and [Zn(C5H11N3S)(2-pic)2(SO4)] were active at lower concentrations against S.aureus. Against E. coli, [Zn(C5H11N3S)(2-pic)2(SO4)] showed activity at 18-20mg dose range.
