New solvated Mo(VI) complexes were isolated from the reaction of [MoO2(acac)2] with asymmetric isatin bisthiocarbohydrazone ligands. The ligands were obtained from the reaction of isatin monothiocarbohydrazone with 3,5-dibromo salicylaldehyde (L1), 3,5-dichloro salicylaldehyde (L2) and 3-chloro-5-bromo salicylaldehyde (L3), respectively. In the complexes, the ligands serve as ONS donors and coordinate to the [MoO2]2+ nucleus. The bonding sites are azomethine nitrogen atom, phenolic oxygen atom and thiol sulfur atom. The sixth coordination site is completed by an oxygen atom from an ethanol solvent. The ethanol-coordinated Mo(VI) complexes, C1–C3, [MoO2L(EtOH)] (L: L1–L3), were characterized using elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR spectroscopies, and conductivity measurements. By crystallizing ethanol-solvated solid complexes from an EtOH/DMSO mixture, DMSO-solvated complexes (C4–C6) suitable for X-ray crystallography were obtained. Crystal structure analysis supports the proposed complex structures and geometries, but the ethanol in the sixth coordination site has been replaced by DMSO. When the anticarcinogenic effects of the ligands and complexes (C1–C3) on the C6 cell line were examined, it was found that the complexes showed higher activity than the ligands. The C3 complex appears to have the best anti-cancer activity compared to doxorubicin. Additionally, all compounds were determined to have high total antioxidant capacity. Data obtained from theoretical studies (DFT and docking) support experimental studies.
