Abstract A series of palladium(II) complexes with 1H- and 2H-tetrazole ligands (2-isopropyl-5-R-2H-tetrazoles and 1H-tetrazol-1-ylcarboxylic acids) was synthesized. Structure of the obtained compounds was confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. According to the spectrophotometry data, the complexes are weakly bound to DNA. The cytotoxic activity of the obtained palladium complexes was studied in vitro. Show less
