Spectroscopic studies, DFT calculations, and cytotoxic activity of novel silver(I) complexes of hydroxy ortho-substituted-nitro-2Â H-chromen-2-one ligands and a phenanthroline adduct

DFT modeling of newly synthesized polymeric Ag(I) complexes of hydroxy-nitro-coumarin ligands (dimeric Ag2(7OH-6NO2-C)2 unit) characterized by their experimental and calculated spectroscopic properties in solid and solutions phase. The anticancer activity of the Ag(I) complexes against cancerous cell lines was greater than the clinically used agent mitoxantrome.122
