Synthesis, antimicrobial activity, and catalytic activity of rhodium and iridium piano stool complexes: Teaching an old dog new tricks
… of a variety of eta5-ligand rhodium and iridium complexes. Cp*RM(beta-diketonato)Cl (Cp*R = R-substituted tetramethylcyclopentadienyl ligand) complexes were found to have selective activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis, with activity highly dependent upon the substituents on the Cp*R ligand as …

Design and modification of rhodium and iridium N-heterocyclic carbene complexes for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation and antimicrobial activity
… of noble metal N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes. The first project details the design of iridium NHC amino acid complexes for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of prochiral ketones. Iridium(I) bis-NHC complexes were found to undergo oxidative addition with a variety of alpha-amino …

Rational Design of Catalytic Metal Complexes for Potential Applications in Anticancer Chemotherapy
… studies. These studies demonstrated that the piano-stool complexes, whilst remaining catalytically active in the presence of biological molecules, lacked the lipophilicity required to achieve sufficient cellular uptake and accumulation, thus inhibiting their success in the intracellular …

Effective Strategies for Preventing and Mitigating Emerging Viruses
… end, we evaluated several rhodium organometallic complexes as potential antivirals against SARS-CoV-2. We show that two pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp*) rhodium piano stool complexes, Cp*Rh(ICy)Cl2 and Cp*Rh(dpvm)Cl are non-toxic in Vero E6 and Calu3 cells and reduce SARS-CoV-2 plaque formation …

Advances in medicinal inorganic chemistry: Exploiting the biological activity of metal arene complexes
Half-sandwich complexes containing transition metals offer a wide range of applications owing to their interactions with a variety of targets/molecules that are not accessible for some organic scaffolds. The use of such complexes is therefore a way to provide new mechanisms of action. In this …
