At the beginning of the last century, organic chemists began to use transition metal catalysts
for forming carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds. Since then, the formation of …

This tutorial review highlights key principles underpinning the design of selected
metallodrugs to target specific biological macromolecules (DNA and proteins). The review …

Four analogues of the gold (III) complex [AuCl2 (damp)](1)(damp= 2-[(dimethylamino)
methyl] phenyl) have been evaluated for antitumor activity. The compounds have structural …

Several new organogold (III) derivatives of the type [AuX2 (damp)](damp= o-
C6H4CH2NMe2) have been prepared [X= CN, SCN, dtc, or X2= tm; dtc= R2NCS2 (R= Me …

The synthesis of a series of mono-and binuclear cyclometalated gold (III) complexes
containing the tridentate C∧ N∧ C ligand (HC∧ N∧ CH= 2, 6-diphenylpyridine) was …

Based on the well-defined five-membered aryl gold (III) complexes,[Au (tpy) X2](3a and 3b)
and [AuBr (Ph)(tpy)](7), as well as the aryl gold (III) complex [AuCl2 (Ph)(tpy)](8)(tpy= 2-(o …

The silver (I) oxide mediated reactions of the gold (III) dichloride complex [{C6H3 (CH2NMe
2)-2-(OMe)-5} A uCl2] 2a with thiosalicylic or salicylic acid gives the respective complexes …

Oxidation of (Idipp) AuMe (Idipp= 1, 3-bis (2, 6-diisopropylphenyl) imidazol-2-ylidene) with I2
gives a monomethyl Au (III) complex,(Idipp) AuI2Me, which decomposes cleanly to MeI and …

A novel strategy for the synthesis of bis (ortho-amine) chelated monoanionic bisaminoaryl−
metal complexes is presented. This method constitutes the exchange of a monoanionic …

New dithiocarbamate cycloaurated complexes have been synthesized and their
physicochemical and in vitro antitumor properties have been evaluated. All the performed …
