Synthesis, characterization, anticancer properties and theoretical study of asymmetrical Cd(II)N2-Schiff base complexes

Synopsis: Four Schiff-base metal complexes were synthesized from Cd(II) with asymmetric N,N′-bidentate Schiff-base ligand derived from trans-cinnamaldehyde condensation. Free ligand and complexes are characterized and cytotoxicity activity of them against HT29 and A549 cancer cell lines were investigated.243
