TL;DR: The asymmetric phenol-based N,O,S-ligand Hpy2th1as was prepared by the straightforward reductive amination of 3-{[bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]methyl with 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis, spectroscopic, magnetic and structural characterisation of four new alkoxo-bridged dinuclear copper(II) compounds are described, in which the dinuclear units are stabilized by intramolecular H-bonds between the amino hydrogens and Omethoxo and/or Oanion atoms, providing a square planar CuN2O2 unit.

TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction of the antitumor active platinum phosphonato complexes with (oligo)nucleotides has been investigated using 1 H NMR and 31 P NMR spectroscopy.

TL;DR: Six related dinuclear trans-platinum complexes, with the formula [[trans-PtCl(2)(NH(3))(L)], are compared with known cytotoxic dinuclear compounds (L = NH(3); n = 4, 6) that overcome cisplatin resistance and show comparable binding, except for the sterically hindered 2-picoline compounds that bind significantly less.

TL;DR: In this article, the reaction of the phenol-based ligand 4-methyl-2,6-bis{[(2-methylpyridyl)( 2-methylthiophenyl)amino]methyl}phenol(Hpy2th2s), containing pyridine and thiophene substituents, with copper(II) chloride and bromide yields two new dinuclear complexes with the composition [Cu2(py 2th 2s)X3], where X = Cl or Br.
