Insights into the complexation of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) with V(III), Ru(III), Au(III), and Se(IV) ions in binary solvent system

Glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) as a ligand (formulated as LH−) was reacted with V(III), Ru(III), Au(III), and Se(IV) ions. The structures of the obtained complexes were characterized by IR, 1H and 13C NMR, UV–Vis., molar conductance, elemental, and thermal techniques. The antibacterial activity of the complexes towards two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacteria were screened in vitro. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of the Au(III) complex against...
