Novel mitochondria targeted copper(ii) complexes of ferrocenyl terpyridine and anticancer active 8-hydroxyquinolines showing remarkable cytotoxicity, DNA and protein binding affinity

Metal complexes with organelle specificity and potent but selective cytotoxicity are highly desirable. In this work, we report the synthesis, characterization and cytotoxicity of six novel copper(ii) complexes of the formula [Cu(R-tpy)(N-O)]NO (1-6), where R-tpy is 4'-phenyl-2,2':6',2...
