Abstract

The focus of this project is to synthesize and characterize unique organometallic Palladium complexes with various amino acid (AA) ligands. We will describe our synthetic pathway and present and discuss Fourier-transform infrared, 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance, UV-visible, and x-ray crystallographic data. These compounds are expected to show both catalytic and biological activity; the final aim of the study is to evaluate their potential utilization in future medical applications with a primary focus on cancer treatment and anti-microbial activity.
