DFT and TD-DFT Study of the Structure-Cytotoxic Activity Relationship of Ruthenium Polypyridine Complexes Derived from RuCl2(azpy)2
Ruthenium polypyridine complexes are of interest because of their cytotoxic activity and their lower toxicity relative to cisplatin. This study applies density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory to examine structure–cytotoxic activity relationships in five ruthenium azopyridine complexes der...
