Coordination of di- and triimine ligands at ruthenium(II) and ruthenium(III) centers: structural, electrochemical and radical scavenging studies [PDF]
Herein, we explore the coordination of di- and triimine chelators at ruthenium(II) and ruthenium(III) centers. The reactions of 2,6-bis-((4- tetrahydropyranimino)methyl)pyridine (thppy), N1,N2-bis((3-chromone) methylene)benzene-1,2-diamine (chb), and ...

Controlling platinum, ruthenium, and osmium reactivity for anticancer drug design [PDF]
The main task of the medicinal chemist is to design molecules that interact specifically with derailed or degenerating processes in a diseased organism, translating the available knowledge of pathobiochemical and physiological data into chemically ...

New trends for metal complexes with anticancer activity [PDF]
Medicinal inorganic chemistry can exploit the unique properties of metal ions for the design of new drugs. This has, for instance, led to the clinical application of chemotherapeutic agents for cancer treatment, such as cisplatin. The use of cisplatin is,

Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone derivatives using 2-benzyl-tethered ruthenium (II)/TsDPEN complexes bearing η6-(p-OR) (R = H, iPr, Bn, Ph) ligands [PDF]
A series of 4′-OR (R = H, iPr, Bn, Ph) substituted ruthenium (II) biphenyl TsDPEN complexes are described; the complexes are accessed via an operationally simple and reliable two-step ligand synthesis followed by ligation to the ruthenium (II) centre. We
