Abstract TLD1433 is the first Ru(II) complex to be tested as a photodynamic therapy agent in a clinical trial. In this contribution we study TLD1433 in the context of structurally‐related Ru(II)‐imidozo[4,5‐f][1,10]phenanthroline (ip) complexes appended with thiophene rings to decipher the unique photophysical…
This contribution describes the excited‐state properties of an Osmium‐complex when taken up into human cells. The complex 1 [Os(bpy) 2 (IP‐4T)](PF 6 ) 2 with bpy=2,2′‐bipyridine and IP‐4T=2‐{5′‐[3′,4′‐diethyl‐(2,2′‐bithien‐5‐yl)]‐3,4‐diethyl‐2,2′‐bithiophene}imidazo[4,5‐ f ][1,10]phenanthroline) can…
