“…One of the most studied redox-active ligands are α-diimines or 1,4-diaza-1,3-butadienes [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Compounds of such ligands are mainly investigated for creating efficient catalysts [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ], small molecules activation [ 26 , 27 , 28 ] and switchable materials [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ]. It has recently been found that platinum and palladium α-diimine complexes reveal cytotoxicity against various cancer cells [ 36 , 37 ].…”
