Fluorescent Ru(II) and Re(I) terpyridine complexes: anticancer activity, cellular uptake, and mechanisms of cell death.

A cytotoxicity screening of two metal carbonyl compounds of 4'-(2,3,4-trimethoxyphenyl)-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine (1, terpy234) with the formulas cis-[RuCl(CO)2(terpy234-κ3N1N2N3)]Cl (2) and fac-[ReBr(CO)3(terpy234-κ2N1N2)] (3) was conducted on three cancerous and one normal cell line. Analytical and spectroscopic data co...
