Abstract
Half-sandwich organometallic complexes featuring Ru(II), Os(II) and Rh(III) metal centers and naturally occurring bidentate 2-hydroxy-[1,4]-naphthoquinone ligands (lawsone and phthiocol) have been synthesized and characterized in both solid state and solution phase by analytical, spectroscopic, electrochemical and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Comparative studies revealed the influence of the respective metal center (Ru, Os, Rh), leaving group (Cl, Br, I) and arene (p-cymene, toluene, pentamethylcyclopentadienyl), as well as the naphthoquinone ligand on the structural properties and solution speciation. Additionally, cytotoxicity was tested in SW480, CH1/PA-1 and A549 human cancer cell lines showing a broad range of IC50 values. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
