Abstract

The structure of Ru(cpO)(cp)Cl complex (3), which was precipitated from aqueous solutions of Ru(cp)2Cl+PF6- (1), was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The Ru-halogen bond distance was shorter and the dihedral angle between the rings was larger than the values reported for the corresponding Br analogue, Ru(cpO)(cp)Br (4). The complex 3 (IC50 109 μM) was more cytotoxic than 1 (IC50 163 μM) against mouse sarcoma S180 cells, but less toxic than 4 (IC50 72 μM).
