Abstract
The structure of the cadmium-bound model ligand, 3,3-dimethyl-1-[(E)-[phenyl(pyridine-2-yl)methylidene]amino]thiourea (Bp44mT), which is used across medicinal chemistry and in metal-based nanoparticles research has been determined and analyzed. This complex is used to gain insight to the specificity and selectivity of the ligand and to model how 3,3-dimethyl-1-[(E)-[phenyl(pyridine-2-yl)methylidene]amino]thiourea might be used in chelation to counter metal poisoning and for environmental remediation.
The structure of the title compound, [CdCl2(C15H16N4S)], at 100 K has monoclinic (P21/c) symmetry. The compound has a layer structure and is a 1:1 complex of the organic ligand and cadmium chloride. The ligand, 3,3-dimethyl-1-[(E)-[phenyl(pyridine-2-yl)methylidene]amino]thiourea (L, Bp44mT), is of interest with respect to anticancer activity, antiviral properties and potential use in conditions of iron overload, from hemochromatosis or from multiple transfusions in hematological disorders such as sickle cell disease or beta thalassemia. This study is aimed at uncovering the basis of selectivity of the ligand as a chelator and for lead optimization. We also examine the ligand’s potential use in treating heavy metal poisoning from cadmium, arsenic, lead or mercury, and for environmental remediation. The crystal structure exhibits no intermolecular or intramolecular hydrogen bonding with the supramolecular features being driven by hydrophobic, π–π and long-range dispersion forces.
