This study describes the synthesis, IR, 1H, and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopic as well the thermal characterization of the new palladium(II) pyrazolyl complexes [PdCl2(HmPz)2] 1, [PdBr2(HmPz)2] 2, [PdI2(HmPz)2] 3, [Pd(SCN)2(HmPz)2] 4 {HmPz = 4-methylpyrazole}. The residues of the thermal decomposition were identified as Pd0 by X-ray powder diffraction. From the initial decomposition temperatures, the thermal stability of the complexes can be ordered in the sequence: 1 > 2 > 4 ≈ 3. The cytotoxic activities of the complexes and the ligand were investigated against two murine cancer cell lines: mammary adenocarcinoma (LM3) and lung adenocarcinoma (LP07) and compared to cisplatin under the same experimental conditions.
