Potential biological and medical applications of organometallic complexes are hampered by a lack of knowledge of their aqueous solution chemistry. We show that the hydrolytic and aqueous solution chemistry of half-sandwich OsII arene complexes of the type [(eta6-arene)Os(XY)Cl] can be

Replacing the N,N-chelating ligand 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) in the Ir(III) pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp*) complex [(η(5)-C(5)Me(5))Ir(bpy)Cl](+) (1) with the C,N-chelating ligand 2-phenylpyridine (phpy) to give [(η(5)-C(5)Me(5))Ir(phpy)Cl] (2) switches on cytotoxicity toward A2780 human ovarian cancer cells (IC(50) values of >100 μM for 1

The low-spin 5d(6) Ir(III) organometallic half-sandwich complexes [(η(5)-Cp(x))Ir(XY)Cl](0/+), Cp(x) = Cp*, tetramethyl(phenyl)cyclopentadienyl (Cp(xph)), or tetramethyl(biphenyl)cyclopentadienyl (Cp(xbiph)), XY = 1,10-phenanthroline (4-6), 2,2'-bipyridine (7-9), ethylenediamine (10 and 11), or picolinate (12-14), hydrolyze rapidly. Complexes with N,N-chelating ligands readily form adducts with 9-ethylguanine

Several chlorido and amino Pt(2+) complexes of 2-hydroxy-3-(aminomethyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone Mannich bases HL exhibiting moderate to high cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines were studied in order to investigate their modes of DNA binding, in vitro DNA strand breaks, mechanism of topoisomerase (Topo

The reaction of the redox-active ligand, Hpyramol (4-methyl-2-N-(2-pyridylmethyl)aminophenol) with K(2)PtCl(4) yields monofunctional square-planar [Pt(pyrimol)Cl], PtL-Cl, which was structurally characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and NMR spectroscopy. This compound unexpectedly cleaves supercoiled double-stranded DNA stoichiometrically and oxidatively, in a non-specific manner
