Abstract

The reaction of the dimer complex [{Ru(CO) 3Cl 2} 2] with the ligands 4,6-dichloroquinoline-5,8-dione and 6-methoxybenzo[ g]quinoline-5,10-dione in ethanol solution led to the neutral mononuclear complexes of general formula [Ru(CO) 2Cl 2(κ 2-quinolinedione-N,O)]. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and RMN spectroscopy, and the molecular structure of [Ru(CO) 2Cl 2(6-methoxybenzo[ g]quinoline-5,10-dione)] was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The redox chemistry of ligands and complexes was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, and their potential antitumor activity was also evaluated.
