Summary: This study investigates the impact of methyl and phenyl substituents in specific positions of the phen ligand on the structural and photophysical properties of [W(CO)(4)(phen-type)] complexes. The substituents significantly influence geometrical parameters, particularly the (OC)(eq)-W-(CO)(eq) angle, affecting the photophysical properties. The perturbation of the (OC)(eq)-W-(CO)(eq) angle induced by the substituents in the phen ligand plays a crucial role in determining the photophysical properties of these complexes.

Summary: Cancer is a significant global health threat and new treatments are needed to improve patient prognosis. Unconventional platinum complexes, consisting of polypyridyl ligands and diaminocyclohexane, have shown anticancer activity in previously undruggable KRAS mutated cells, with cytotoxicity values up to 100 times better than cisplatin. Inspired by these complexes, six novel cyclometallated examples were designed and their fluorescence was used to study the mechanism of action of platinum drugs. The cytotoxicity results showed that these cyclometallated complexes have different activity compared to the inspiring complexes, but are as cytotoxic as cisplatin and have higher selectivity indices in breast cancer cell lines. Complexes 1b, 2a, and 3b exhibited particularly high selectivity indexes. Further investigation revealed their good affinity to ctDNA, especially CMCs 1a and 3b. The fluorescence of these complexes was successfully utilized in calculating their DNA binding affinity.
