The structures of these compounds were characterized by spectroscopic (IR, UV/Vis, H-1 and F-19 NMR, ESR) and X-ray diffraction techniques. Chemical oxidation of the tert-buylated HLx ligands and their CuLx2 complexes using Ce(IV) under anaerobic and aerobic conditions at room temperature (r.t.) in DMF solution revealed the generation of phenoxyl radicals. An X-ray structural study revealed that thanks to CH....F and CH.....pi bonds both the CuL21 and PdL21 molecules crystallize as hydrated dimers that pack differently. The antiproliferative potentials of all the compounds against Mat-LyLu cell lines were determined. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
