The interaction of antitumor active vanadocene dichloride with sulfur-containing amino acids

Abstract

Vanadocene dichloride (1) reacts with sulfur-containing amino acids, cysteine and methionine, giving new complexes with five- or six-membered chelate ring, but the structure of isolated compounds is affected by the pH value of the reaction mixture. Methi
