Investigation of DNA interaction and antiproliferative activity of mixed ligand dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complexes incorporating ONO donor aroylhydrazone ligands
Abstract Four new mixed ligand dioxidomolybdenum(VI) [MoVIO2L1-3(Q)] (1–3), [MoVIO2L4(Q)]2 (H2O) (4) [where Q = MeOH for 1 and imidazole for 2–4] complexes have been synthesized using four different ONO donor aroylhydrazone ligands (H2L1–4). All the derived ligands and complexes have been characterised by different physicochemical techniques, that is, elemental analysis, spectroscopic methods (UV–Vis
