The increasing impact of cancer on worldwide mortality makes the research of novel
chemotherapeutic agents a current and challenging issue. In the recent years, transition …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) exploits light-activated compounds for therapeutic use. It relies
on a photosensitiser (PS) that is inactive in the absence of light. When irradiated, the PS …

Five osmium (II) polypyridyl complexes of the general formula [Os (4, 7‐diphenyl‐1, 10‐
phenanthroline) 2L] 2+ were synthesized as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy by …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a medicinal tool that uses a photosensitizer and a light
source to treat several conditions, including cancer. PDT uses reactive oxygen species such …

The photogeneration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by molecular and nanostructured
systems with d-and f-metal compounds is discussed with the emphasis on the mechanisms …

The photoreactivity of relatively large transition metal complexes is often limited to the
description of the static potential energy surfaces of the involved electronic states. While …

The mixed-metal supramolecular complex,[(Ph2phen) 2Ru (dpp) PtCl2] 2+, displays
significant DNA modification, cell growth inhibition, and toxicity towards F98 malignant …

The measurement of oxygen consumption is an important element in the understanding of
an organism's metabolic state. Oxygen is also a phosphorescence quencher, which allows …

This article is a highlight of the paper by Lazic et al. in this issue of Photochemistry and
Photobiology, https://doi. org/10.1111/php. 12767. It describes the validation of osmium …

The synthesis of Ru (II) derivatives [(AnthbpyMe)(bpy) Ru (dpp)] 2+(2) and [(AnthbpyMe) 2
Ru (dpp)] 2+(3), and the analysis of their excited state properties as well as their …
