Abstract
This study presents the synthesis and characterization of two novel platinum(II) complexes incorporating the artificial sweetener acesulfame (ACS) with triphenylphosphine (PPh3) or bipyridine (bipy) ligands. The complexes were synthesized via a straightforward reaction of potassium acesulfamate with [PtCl2(bipy)] and [PtCl2(PPh3)2]. In the case of the triphenylphosphine complex, the reaction yielded two isomers: the major product, [Pt(ACS)Cl(PPh3)2], resulting from the substitution of one chloride ligand by ACS, and the minor product, [Pt(ACS)2(PPh3)2], where both chloride ligands were replaced. The major isomer, [Pt(ACS)Cl(PPh3)2], was characterized in detail using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, revealing a distorted square planar geometry around the platinum center. Further analysis of this complex included Hirshfeld surface analysis to investigate intermolecular interactions and enrichment ratios, as well as Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations to explore its electronic properties, including HOMO-LUMO energy levels and charge distribution. In addition, the antibacterial activity of acesulfame and its complexes was examined against Pseudomonase aeroginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. The data showed that the metal complexes are more active than the free artificial sweetener acesulfame. Also, the complex [Pt(ACS)2(bipy)] has the highest activity against bacteria species.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
