Octahedral Ir (III) complexes bearing cyclometalated ligands exhibit a great stability in
biological media and are excellent therapeutical and phototherapeutical candidates for …

Conspectus Iridium is a relatively rare precious heavy metal, only slightly less dense than
osmium. Researchers have long recognized the catalytic properties of square-planar IrI …

Organometallic complexes containing ligands such as CO, carbenes, alkyls, phenyls, π-
bound alkynes, alkenes, cyclopentadienyls and arenes possess properties which have often …

The clinical success of cisplatin and its derivatives has had an enormous impact on the
discovery of novel metal-based drugs. Extensive studies have focused on the interaction of …

Platinum complexes are the most widely used anticancer drugs; however, new generations
of agents are needed. The organoiridium (III) complex [(η5‐Cpxbiph) Ir (phpy)(Cl)](1‐Cl) …

The redox properties of both metals and ligands in transition metal complexes offer unusual
routes for new mechanisms of anticancer therapy. Metal complexes can introduce artificial …

Half-sandwich Cp* Ir and Cp* Rh metalacycles have been successfully applied in traditional
domains encompassing organic transformations and catalysis in recent years, especially the …

There is an emerging interest in applying inorganic and organometallic transition metal
complexes to biomolecular and cellular studies. The cytotoxic effects of these complexes on …

Until recently, Rh (III) and particularly Ir (III) complexes were generally considered as being
unlikely candidates for anticancer agents owing to the typical kinetic inertness of their …

Background It is well-known that flavonoids, which can be easily obtained from many fruits
and vegetables are widely preferred in the treatment of some important diseases. Some …
