This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of thirteen complexes involving the polyamines ethylenediamine, diaminopropane, diaminobutane, spermidine and spermine, and the metal ions Zn (II), Ni (II) and Pd (II). All syntheses were performed in water, a solvent of biological importance, and under near-physiological changes in order to mimic the bonds and understand the interaction of polyamines with anions in the biological cycle. At physiological pH these molecules are primarily in the protonated form and interact with anionic molecules, among which certain DNA sites. The complexes were characterized by the techniques of conductivity, elemental analysis, atomic absorption spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance of Hydrogen and Carbon 13 (for the zinc complexes), and Xray diffraction (for zinc crystals). The complexes of the type (polyamine [ZnCl4]) were synthesized first and, subsequently, analogous compounds of ion nickel (II) with stoichiometry (polyamine [NiCl4]) were synthesized. It was observed that in these complexes, the polyamines interact with the tetrachlorometalate (II) anion via hydrogen bonds. These interactions occur between the primary amine hydrogen and the chlorine from the coordination sphere. The metal ion complexes formed by palladium (II) showed, as the analysis data, chemical structures distinct from the other compounds. In this case, we obtained the complex [Pd(Cl)(2)(C(2)H(8)N(2))], [Pd(Cl)(2)(C(3)H(10)N(2))] e [Pd(2)(Cl)(4)(C(10)H(27)N(4))], which have importance as potential drugs for the treatment of cancer.
