Abstract
Most half-sandwich metal anticancer complexes are non-fluorescent, which results in an uncertain mechanism of action (MoA). We designed and synthesized eight fluorescent half-sandwich iridium (Ir) and ruthenium (Ru) complexes by introducing rhodamine derivatives into the N^N-chelating ligand. These complexes have features of bio-imaging and anticancer agents and may merit future development as novel anticancer agents.
