A comparative study between two novel, highly water soluble, ruthenium (II) polypyridyl
complexes,[Ru (phen) 2L′] and [Ru (phen) 2Cu (II) L′](L and L‐CuII), containing the …

Lack of selectivity is one of the main issues with currently used chemotherapies, causing
damage not only to altered cells but also to healthy cells. Over the last decades …

In the fight against cancer, photodynamic therapy is generating great interest thanks to its
ability to selectively kill cancer cells without harming healthy tissues. In this field, ruthenium …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a remarkable alternative or complementary technique to
chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy to treat certain forms of cancer. The …

Six substitutionally inert [RuII (bipy) 2dppz] 2+ derivatives (bipy= 2, 2′‐bipyridine, dppz=
