Abstract

Organometallic RuII compounds are among the most widely studied anticancer agents. Functionalizing metal centers with biomolecule-derived ligands has been shown to be a promising strategy to improve the antiproliferative activity of metal-based chemotherapeutics. Herein, the synthesis of a series of novel 3-hydroxypyridin-2-one-derived ligands and their MII(?6-p-cymene) half-sandwich complexes (M=Ru, Os) is described. The compounds were characterized by 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis.
