2-Ferrocenyl-1,8-naphthyridine (1) and cis,cis,cis-dicarbonyl-dichloro-bis (2-ferrocenyl-1,8-naphthyridine) ruthenium(II) complex (2) have been synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H-NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. ...

Ruthenium compounds have been actively studied as metallodrugs for cancer therapy. Representatives of ruthenium-based antitumor drugs are the classes of ruthenium(III)-chlorido-(N-ligand)complexes, including the drugs ...

Octahedral Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes constitute a superb platform to devise photoactive triggers capable of delivering entire molecules in a reliable, fast, efficient and clean way. Ruthenium coordination chemistry opens ...

Ruthenium, as well as the rest of the platinum-group metals, is of crucial importance for industry due to its extraordinary catalytic activity and high-tech applications. Because of its scarcity and high value, there is ...

A visible-light activatable caged compound based on a ruthenium-polypyridine complex was used to elicit the feeding response of the freshwater cnidarian Hydra vulgaris. The phototrigger delivers l-arginine in a clean ...
