Abstract
A successful oligomerization of ternary metal complexes, cobalt (II), nickel (II), copper (II), zinc (II), chromium (III) and ferric sulfate (III) with nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) as a primary ligand and glutamic acid as a secondary ligand, has been demonstrated. The formation of oligomers arose from the presence of the sulfate moiety, which operates as a bridged bidentate ligand that coordinates with other metal moieties. The novel oligomers exhibited octahedral structures, which bonded together through the sulfate moiety. In silico predictions were conducted to gauge the bioactivity, physico-chemical and pharmacokinetic properties. The biological activities of these oligomers as well as their tumor inhibitory behavior have been explored. This work also presents a facile and novel method of preparing these materials in nanosize, using Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as capping ligands. The size and shape of the nanomaterials have been confirmed using the transmission electron microscope (TEM) and the scanning electron microscope (SEM).
