Abstract

In recent years, Ru (III) complexes have emerged as a new class of effective anticancer agents against tumors that proved to be resistant to all other chemotherapeutic drugs currently in clinical use. To extend our previous studies on metal complexes containing sulfur-donor ligands, we report here on the synthesis and characterization, by means of several spectroscopic and analytical techniques, some [Ru (RSDT) 3] and [Ru2 (RSDT) 5] ...
