Green light-induced apoptosis in cancer cells by a tetrapyridyl ruthenium prodrug offering two trans coordination sites

“…This reactivity is typical of geometrically distorted ruthenium( ii ) compounds that possess low-lying triplet metal-centred ( 3 MC) excited states with a strongly dissociative character. 17 1 H NMR confirmed this analysis, as a new resonance at 2.72 ppm, characteristic of free dmso, appeared after green light irradiation, but not in the dark (Fig. S16 † ).…”

Combination of Ru(ii) complexes and light: new frontiers in cancer therapy

“…In contrast to square planar Pt( ii ) compounds, Ru( ii ) complexes offer octahedral conformations. It was shown that complexes with distorted octahedral geometry can undergo ligand dissociation after photo-irradiation, 82 , 83 which is followed by the formation of an aqua complex that can bind to DNA in a manner similar to cisplatin. To exploit this concept, Glazer and coworkers recently investigated the potential use of methyl substituents on one polypyridyl ligand to obtain highly distorted geometries.…”

Restricted Geometry Conditions Promoted by AlOOH Nanoparticles: Variable Strength and Character of AlOOH-Cluster/Charged Ligand Interactions As a Consequence of Changes in the Solvent

“…It is interesting to note that the activity coefficients for the reactant species are incorporated into the surface binding model (eq 7). According to the transition-state theory, the rate constant for a given reaction A + B f products (8) is given by the equation…”
