“…[1d], We have been interested in this field for years, firstly synthesizing and studying the family of water‐soluble ruthenium complexes [RuCpX(L 1 )(L 2 )] n + (X = Cl; L 1 , L 2 = PPh 3 , PTA, mPTA, mTPPMS) . Later on we studied also the effect on the antiproliferative activity of the bis‐ N ‐methylated PTA N , N′ ‐dimethyl‐1,3,5‐triaza‐7‐phosphaadamantane (dmPTA) and its derivative 3,7‐H‐3,7‐dimethyl‐1,3,7‐triaza‐5‐phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (HdmoPTA) . This last ligand can be easily deprotonated and the resulting neutral 3,7‐dimethyl‐1,3,7‐triaza‐5‐phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (dmoPTA) is able to coordinate metals through the soft P and the two hard N CH3 atoms, behaving in the latter case as a chelate .…”
