摘要

By introducing antibacterial drugs pipemidic acid into the octamolybdates, an unprecedented compound, [Zn(PPA)(2)(H2O)](2)center dot[Mo8O26]center dot 3.5H(2)O (1) (PPA = pipemidic acid), has been synthesized and characterized by routine physical methods. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the title compound contains the right- and left-double-stranded like DNA helical chains, which are assembled together via sharing the beta-Mo-8 clusters forming the fascinating double intertwined inverted helices. The result of the antitumor activities shows that the title compound possesses higher antitumor activity and selectivity.
