Abstract:
Following methods described in the literature, two new complexes of [AsW9O33]9- ligand (AsW9) were synthesized with Pd2+
and Pt4+ cations: Na12[(AsW9O33)2Pd3]*24H2O (AsW9Pd); Na6[(AsW9O33)2Pt3]*46H2O (AsW9Pt). The complexes were
obtained by direct addition of cation salt solution (PdCl2/K2PtCl6) to AsW9 sodium salt solution at pH = 8.5, keeping the
temperature between 70 - 80ºC. After physico-chemical characterization (UV, IR, TGA, conductometry, X-ray), the
complexes have been associated to Hervè structures which consist of two AsW9 units connected by O-Pd/Pt-O bridges. Their
biological activity was studied in vitro on Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213) and Gram negative
(Escherichia coli ATCC 25922) bacterial strains, and showed significant antibacterial activity, inhibiting both E. coli and S.
aureus, with better effect on the Gram negative strain.
