A series of vanadocene complexes [Cp′2V(L)][OTf] 2 (Cp′ = η5-C5H5, η5-C5H4Me; L = phen, 5-NO2-phen, 5-NH2-phen, 4,7-Ph2-phen) was prepared and characterized by mass spectrometry and EPR spectroscopy. Structures of two complexes that contain an N,N′-chelating ligand, [(η5-C5H 4Me)2V(phen)][OTf]2·0.5Me2CO and [(η5-C5H5)2V(5-NH 2-phen)][OTf]2, and the triflate intermediate [(η5-C5H5)2V(OTf)2] were further confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. The cytotoxicity study has shown that complexes that contain phenanthroline ligands have considerably higher in vitro activity toward human leukemia cells MOLT-4 and HL-60 than their parent dichlorides ([Cp′2VCl2]). The high activity of these complexes coheres with their higher stability in various aqueous media. This study has further shown that substitution of chloride ligands in the vanadocene dichloride has a considerably higher effect on cytotoxicity than expected on the basis of established mechanistic rules.
