Two new irregular hexagons (6and7) were synthesized from a pyrazine motif containing an organometallic acceptor clip [bearing platinum(II) centers] and different neutral donor ligands (4,4′-bipyridine or pyrazine) using a coordination-driven self-assembly protocol. The two-dimensional supramolecules were characterized by multinuclear NMR, mass spectrometry, and elemental analyses. Additionally, one of the macrocycles (6) was characterized by single-crystal X-ray analyses. Macrocycles are unique examples of [2 + 2] self-assembled ensembles that are hexagonal but irregular in shape. These hexagon frameworks require the assembly of only four tectons/subunits. The cytotoxicity of platinum(II)-based macrocycles was studied using various cell lines such as A549 (human lung carcinoma), KB (human oral cancer), MCF7 (human breast cancer), and HaCaT (human skin keratinocyte) cell lines, and the results were compared with those of cisplatin. The smaller macrocycle (7) exhibited a higher cytotoxic effect against all cell types, and its sensitivity was found to be comparable with that of cisplatin for A549 and MCF7 cells. Cell cycle analysis and live propidium iodide staining suggest that the macrocycles6and7induced a loss of membrane integrity that ultimately might lead to necrotic cell death.
