NO Photorelease from a Ruthenium Complex Assisted by Formation of a Supramolecular Dimer

Recent advances in photorelease complexes for therapeutic applications

“…was released. 52 The more elaborate adduct RU17 combines nitric oxide release with potential other free radical formation from the porphyrin group.…”

“…It was hypothesised that a supramolecular dimer formed in solution, and from this species the NO˙ was released. 52 The more elaborate adduct RU17 combines nitric oxide release with potential other free radical formation from the porphyrin group. 53…”

“…It was hypoth-esised that a supramolecular dimer formed in solution, and from this species the NO • was released. 52 The more elaborate adduct RU17 combines nitric oxide release with potential other free radical formation from the porphyrin group. 53 It is not exclusively necessary to construct nitric oxide photorelease complexes based around the ruthenium(II) polypyridyl core.…”
