Two novel carbonylchlorido complexes for photodynamic therapy (PDT), RuCOCl and OsCOCl, were synthesized via a unified synthetic strategy. Comparative photophysical, computational and preliminary biological studies reveal the crucial influence of the metal in governing their PDT performance, highlighting the potential of this largely underestimated class of complexes for PDT applications.

Abstract
Two novel carbonylchlorido complexes for photodynamic therapy (PDT), RuCOCl and OsCOCl, were synthesized via a unified synthetic strategy. Comparative photophysical, computational and preliminary biological studies reveal the crucial influence of the metal in governing their PDT performance, highlighting the potential of this largely underestimated class of complexes for PDT applications.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
