Abstract
A new Ag(I) coordination complex, Ag(C11H10N2O)2·NO3 (C11H10N2O = 4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methylpyrimidine) is successfully synthesized and characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. This complex features a three-dimensional framework consisting of hydrogen bonds, π–π stacking interactions, coordination interactions, and electrostatic interactions. Moreover, the thermal stability and non-isothermal thermal decomposition reaction kinetics of the complex are well investigated by the methods of Kissinger and Ozawa. Finally, the antitumor ability of the complex is evaluated against human lung cancer cells (NCI-H460), human hepatocellular cancer cells (HepG2), and human breast cancer cells (MCF7). The complex exhibits potent antitumor activities against HepG2 and MCF7 cancer cells.
