Abstract:
A family of five heteroleptic complexes [Ru(C^N)(N^N)2][PF6] (HC^N = methyl 1-butyl-2-arylbenzimidazolecarboxylate; N^N = polypyridine) has been synthesized to act as biologically-compatible green light photosensitizers (PSs) with phototherapeutic indexes (PIs) up to higher than 700 under hypoxia (2% O2) in HeLa cancer cells under short time of irradiation.
