Abstract

The synthesis, crystal structures, physicochemical properties and complex formation constants of [Cu(phen)2(L)] (ClO4)2 complexes, where phen is 1,10-ortho-phenanthroline and L is a series of substituted imidazolidine-2- thione, have been studied. Single crystal X-ray diffraction revealed a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry for all the molecules. The complex formation constants were determined in nonaqueous media by spectrophotometricmeasurements. Testing copper(II) complexes inmouse neuroblastomaN2a cells persistently infected with the 22L strain of the scrapie prion protein (22L-N2a) resulted in high cytotoxicity but no antiprion activity at nontoxic doses.
