Abstract

"This project focuses on synthesizing novel palladium complexes with various amino acid (AA) ligands. After synthesis is completed, these complexes will be characterized by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and Powder X-ray Diffraction; these data will be discussed and evaluated. The complexes will then be tested to determine their catalytic activity and biological activity; specifically, their anticancer properties will be evaluated for potential utilization in future medical applications."
