Conspectus Iridium is a relatively rare precious heavy metal, only slightly less dense than
osmium. Researchers have long recognized the catalytic properties of square-planar IrI …

The non-communicable disease, cancer, is one of the major causes of death across the
world and is forecast to increase by 75% to reach close to 25 million cases over the next two …

Group 9 metal complexes based on iridium and rhodium have recently arisen as fascinating
potential alternatives to existing platinum and ruthenium metallodrugs. While long regarded …

Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, with the highest mortality rate in
the world, and its incidence is second only to breast cancer. It has posed a serious threat to …

Novel rhodium, iridium, and ruthenium half-sandwich complexes containing (N, N)-bound
picolinamide ligands have been prepared for use as anticancer agents. The complexes …

We report the synthesis and characterization of eight half-sandwich cyclopentadienyl IrIII
pyridine complexes of the type [(η5-Cpxph) Ir (phpy) Z] PF6, in which Cpxph= C5Me4C6H5 …

Targeting apoptosis is a principal strategy in the design of anticancer drugs. In recent years,
non-platinum-based scaffolds have been exploited as viable candidates for the exploitation …

We report the synthesis, characterization, and antiproliferative activity of 15 iridium (III) half-
sandwich complexes of the type [(η5-Cp*) Ir (2-(R′-phenyl)-R-pyridine) Cl] bearing either …

A pyrazole-appended quinoline-based 4, 4-difluoro-4-bora-3a, 4a-diaza-s-indacene (L1,
BODIPY) has been synthesized and used as a ligand for the preparation of iridium (III) …

Six complexes of formula [Ir (η5: κ1-C5Me4CH2py)(C, N)] PF6, where C5Me4CH2py is 2-((2,
3, 4, 5-tetramethylcyclopentadienyl) methyl) pyridine, and C, N is 2-phenylpyridine (1), 7, 8 …
