Influence of the π-coordinated arene on the anticancer activity of ruthenium(II) carbohydrate organometallic complexes

The synthesis and in vitro cytotoxicity of a series of RuII(arene) complexes with carbohydrate-derived phosphite ligands and various arene co-ligands is described. The arene ligand has a strong influence on the in vitro anticancer activity of this series of compounds, which correlates fairly well wi...
