Journal ArticleDOI
Gold(I) chloride adducts of 1,3-bis(di-2-pyridylphosphino)propane: synthesis, structural studies and antitumour activity
Anthony S. Humphreys,Aleksandra Filipovska,Susan J. Berners-Price,George A. Koutsantonis,Brian W. Skelton,Allan H. White +5 more
TL;DR: The in vitro cytotoxic activity of [Au(d2pypp)(2)]Cl was assessed in human normal and cancer breast cells and selective toxicity to the cancer cells found and the significance of these results to the antitumour properties of chelated 1 : 2 Au(I) diphosphine complexes is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating Intracellular Localisation and Cytotoxicity Trends for Neutral and Cationic Iridium Tetrazolato Complexes in Live Cells.
Chiara Caporale,Christie A. Bader,Alexandra Sorvina,Karen D. M. MaGee,Brian W. Skelton,Todd A. Gillam,Phillip J. Wright,Paolo Raiteri,Stefano Stagni,Janna L. Morrison,Sally E. Plush,Douglas A. Brooks,Massimiliano Massi +12 more
TL;DR: Methylated analogues were found to be more cytotoxic compared to the neutral species, a behaviour that might to be linked to a combination of uptake and intracellular localisation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unprecedented μ‐η2:η2‐Pyrazolate Coordination in [{Yb(η2‐tBu2pz)(μ‐η2:η2‐tBu2pz)(thf)}2]
TL;DR: A higher degree of coordination saturation is attainable through the unusual coordination mode in the title compound 1, in which the central pyrazolate groups function both as chelating and as bridging ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI
The photochemistry of rhenium(I) tricarbonyl N-heterocyclic carbene complexes.
Jamila G. Vaughan,Brodie L. Reid,Sushil Ramchandani,Phillip J. Wright,Sara Muzzioli,Brian W. Skelton,Paolo Raiteri,David Brown,Stefano Stagni,Massimiliano Massi +9 more
TL;DR: The photochemical mechanisms are illustrated with a combination of NMR, IR, UV-Vis, emission and X-ray structural characterization techniques, clearly demonstrating that the presence of the NHC ligand is responsible for the previously unobserved photochemical behavior in other photoactive tricarbonyl rhenium(I) species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal structures and spectroscopic studies of the mononuclear complex [AgBr(PPh3)2] and binuclear [Ag2X2(PPh3)4].2CHCl3 (X=Cl or Br)
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of the silver (I) complexes [AgBr(PPh3)2] and [Ag2X2pPh34]·2CHCl3(X = Cl or Br) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
