In this communication, we report the synthesis, characterization, and electrochemistry of a 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-benzimidazole-manganese oxide hybrid. Our results suggest that this compound is a promising model for the manganese cluster together with tyrosine-161 and histidine-190 in photosystem II of plants, algae

Fine-tuning of the properties of a recently reported 1,3-indandione-based organoruthenium complex is attempted to optimize the stability under physiological conditions. Previous work has shown its capacity of inhibiting topoisomerase IIα; however, fast aquation leads to undesired reactions and ligand cleavage
