Two Co(Ⅱ) and Ni(Ⅱ) complexes were synthesized by synergistic coordination of 3,3-diphenylpropionic acid (HDPA) and 2,2′-bipyridylamine (PAm). The structures of complexes [Co(DPA)₂(PAm)]·2H₂O (1) and [Ni(DPA)₂(PAm)]·2H₂O (2) were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction. Hirshfeld surface analysis provided quantitative insights into the intermolecular interactions within the complexes, while molecular docking studies elucidated their binding modes and affinities toward urease. Furthermore, the biological activities of both complexes were systematically evaluated through a range of assays, including DNA binding, urease inhibition, antibacterial activity, and in vitro cytotoxicity against cancer cells. Both complexes exhibited binding affinity for DNA and displayed notable urease inhibitory activity. Under in vitro conditions, both complexes showed appreciable cytotoxicity toward HepG2 cells with efficacy comparable to clinically used platinum-based anticancer agents.
