Abstract
The new platinum(II) complexes cis-[Pt(sac)2(NH3)2] (sac = saccharinate) and cis-[Pt(tsac)2(NH3)2] (tsac = thiosaccharinate) have been prepared, the X-ray crystal structure of cis-[Pt(sac)2(NH3)2].H2O reveals that both saccharinate anions are N-bound in a cis-arrangement being inequivalent in both the solid-state and in solution at room temperature. Preliminary anti-cancer activity has been assessed against A549 human alveolar type-II like cell lines with the thiosaccharinate complex showing good activity.
