trans- and cis-(Cl,Cl)-[RuII(FT)Cl2(NO)](PF6): promising candidates for NO release in the NIR region†
Abstract
cis- and trans-(Cl,Cl)-[RuII(FT)Cl2(NO)](PF6) complexes show efficient NO photodelivery upon two-photon excitation in the NIR region. Moreover, cytotoxicity and phototoxicity studies provide evidence that these complexes are promising candidates as photoactivatable molecular tools for resection of malignancies.
