abstract = "Three square-planar complexes of nickel(II) with the tridentate condensation derivative of 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde and ethyl carbazate, and monodentate pseudohalides, have been synthesized. Their crystal structures have been determined. All the complexes showed a significant antifungal activity, while only the azido complex displayed antibacterial activity. All the complexes were cytotoxic to a panel of six tumor cell lines, the azido complex showing a similar activity as cisplatin to leukemia cell line K562 and lower toxicity to normal MRC-5 cells than that anticancer agent. The complexes interfered with cell cycle of tumor cells and induced plasmid DNA cleavage.",
