Abstract
The combined action of singlet oxygen (1O2) and photoinduced carbon monoxide (CO) released by tricarbonyl metal complexes is a promising synergic treatment against multi-resistant bacterial infections. In this work, we explore the use of a polydentate ligand (bpm = 2,2-bipyrimidine) that offers the opportunity to accommodate two metal centers exhibiting both singlet oxygen generation and carbon monoxide releasing properties in a single molecule. A series of monometallic ([(bpm)M(CO)3Br]; M = Mn, Re) and homo or hetero bimetallic ([Br(CO)3M(bpm)M'(CO)3Br]; M = Mn, Re) compounds were synthesized in moderate to good yields by modulating the metal precursor or the stoichiometry, also the syn:anti isomers ratio for the bimetallic complexes was dependent on the experimental conditions used. DFT modelling shows the anti-isomer is more stable than the syn-isomer by less than 8 kJ mol-1, which is consistent with those experimentally observed in terms of majority product and the effect of experimental conditions over the anti-syn ratio. The HOMO-LUMO gap is lower for the mono and bimetallic rhenium(I) compounds compared to the values for the manganese(I) analogues, while the heterometallic complex shows intermediate values for the anti-isomer. The photophysical characterization shows typical absorption and emission bands with MLCT character. In addition, CO-release and 1O2 generation quantum yields were evaluated for the monometallic Mnbpm and Rebpm homologues and compared with values obtained for the homo- and hetero-bimetallic complexes. Interestingly the replacement of a Mn(CO)3Br moiety in MnbpmMn by a Re(CO)3Br one makes the heterometallic MnbpmRe molecule a molecular oxygen sensitizer and partially retaining its carbon monoxide releasing ability.

Abstract
In this study, we report the synthesis and characterization of some heteroleptic Cr(III) complexes of the form [Cr(Phen)2L](OTf)3, where Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and L is either 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) or its derivatives, such as 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (4,4'-DMB), 4,4'-dimethoxy-2,2'-bipyridine (4,4'-DMOB), 4,4'-ditert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine (4,4'-dtbpy), 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (5,5'-DMB), 4,4'-dimethoxycarbonyl-2,2'-bipyridine (4,4'-dmcbpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives, such as 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (5-Me-Phen) and 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (4,7-DMP). Heteroleptic complexes were prepared in two stages via the intermediate [Cr(Phen)2(CF3SO3)2](CF3SO3) and five examples have been crystallographically characterized. Steady-state absorption and luminescence emission characteristics of these complexes were measured in 1 M HCl solutions. The luminescence quantum yield of these complexes was found to be the lowest for [Cr(Phen)2(4,4'-dmcbpy)](OTf)3 and the highest for [Cr(Phen)2(4,4'-DMB)](OTf)3 with values of 0.31 × 10-2 and 1.48 × 10-2, respectively. The calculated excited state energy, E0-0, was found to vary within the narrow range of 163.1-165.0 kJ mol-1 across the series. Transient absorption spectra in degassed, air-equilibrated, and oxygen-saturated 1 M HCl aqueous solutions were also measured at different time decays and demonstrated no significant differences, indicating the absence of any ion-separated species in the excited state. Excited-state decay traces at the wavelength of maximum absorption were used to calculate oxygen quenching rate constants, kq, which were found to be in the range 3.26-5.27 × 107 M-1 s-1. Singlet oxygen luminescence photosensitized by these complexes was observed in D2O, and its luminescence intensity at 1270 nm was used for the determination of singlet oxygen quantum yields for these complexes, which were in the range of 0.20-0.44, while the fraction of the excited 2E state quenched by oxygen was in the range of 0.22-0.68, and the efficiency of singlet oxygen production was in the range of 0.44-0.90. The mechanism by which the excited 2E state is quenched by oxygen is explained by a spin statistical model that predicts the balance between charge transfer and noncharge transfer deactivation pathways, which was represented by the parameter pCT that was found to vary from 0.35 to 0.68 for this series of Cr(III) complexes.

Fractional dependence of the free energy of activation on the driving force of charge transfer in the quenching of the excited states of substituted phenanthroline homoleptic ruthenium(ii) complexes in aqueous medium. RSC Adv 2023; 13:13314-13323.

Abstract
The photophysical characteristics of some homoleptic ruthenium(ii) phenanthroline derivatives are investigated in aqueous medium. The lifetimes of the excited 3MLCT state of the studied complexes were found to be very sensitive to the type of the substituents on the phenanthroline ligand and were found to increase from about 0.96 μs in case of the parent [Ru(Phen)3]2+ complex to 2.97 μs in case of [Ru(DPPhen)3]2+. The transient absorption spectra of the current set of complexes were studied also in aqueous medium. Quenching of the excited 3MLCT states of the studied complexes by molecular oxygen were studied and quenching rate constants were found to be in the range 1.02-4.83 × 109 M-1 s-1. Values of singlet oxygen quantum yields were found to be in the range 0.01 to 0.25, and the corresponding efficiencies of singlet oxygen thereby produced, f T Δ, were in the range 0.03-0.52. The mechanism by which the excited 3MLCT state is quenched by oxygen is discussed in light of the spin statistical factor rate constants and the competition between charge transfer and non-charge transfer quenching pathways. The partial charge transfer parameters, p CT, were obtained and found to be about 0.88 for all complexes except for complexes with f T Δ values lower than 0.25. The correlation of the activation free energies ΔG ≠ of the exciplexes formation with the driving force for charge transfer, ΔG CET, gives a charge transfer character of the exciplexes of about 35.0%.

Abstract
Within this work, we review the metal coordination effect on the photophysics of metal dipyrrinato complexes. Dipyrrinato complexes are promising candidates in the search for alternative transition metal photosensitizers for application in photodynamic therapy (PDT). These complexes can be activated by irradiation with light of a specific wavelength, after which, cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated. The metal coordination allows for the use of the heavy atom effect, which can enhance the triplet generation necessary for generation of ROS. Additionally, the flexibility of these complexes for metal ions, substitutions and ligands allows the possibility to tune their photophysical properties. A general overview of the mechanism of photodynamic therapy and the properties of the triplet photosensitizers is given, followed by further details of dipyrrinato complexes described in the literature that show relevance as photosensitizers for PDT. In particular, the photophysical properties of Re(I), Ru(II), Rh(III), Ir(III), Zn(II), Pd(II), Pt(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Ga(III), In(III) and Al(III) dipyrrinato complexes are discussed. The potential for future development in the field of (dipyrrinato)metal complexes is addressed, and several new research topics are suggested throughout this work. We propose that significant advances could be made for heteroleptic bis(dipyrrinato)zinc(II) and homoleptic bis(dipyrrinato)palladium(II) complexes and their application as photosensitizers for PDT.

Abstract
In this work, we describe the synthesis as well as structural, photophysical, and theoretical investigation of a new coordination chemical concept involving rhenium(I) complexes bearing monoanionic 1,2,4-triazolylpyridine-based bidentate chromophores. The X-ray diffractometric analysis of single crystals revealed particular packing features: the trifluoromethylated exemplar displayed two kinds of arrangements of the coordination centers, where the bidentate ligands at the edges of the unit cell are staggered parallel to each other, whereas those inside show antiparallel stacking with respect to the external ligands. On the other hand, the complexes bearing an adamantyl substituent yield a linear arrangement, where the bulky moiety of one luminophore points to the pyridine center of the adjacent ligand of the neighboring complex while including methanol molecules hydrogen-bonded to the triazolato unit. We observed that the photophysical properties of the complexes (photoexcited-state lifetimes, photoluminescence maxima and quantum yields) can be adjusted by tuning of the substitution pattern at the bidentate luminophore as well as by variation of the monodentate coligand. The photoluminescence spectra and photoexcited-state lifetimes of the crystalline phases were measured by phosphorescence lifetime micro(spectro)scopy. Interestingly, the vibrationally resolved emission spectra of the crystals closely resemble those of diluted frozen glassy matrixes at 77 K, in contrast with the broad bands observed in amorphous solids and in fluid solutions, where the charge-transfer character is enhanced. While the photoluminescence quantum yields (ΦL) reach up to 15%, the complexes are able to attain up to 55% efficiency regarding the photosensitization of 1O2 (ΦΔ), depending on the combination of luminophore and coligand. Theoretical calculations showed that the photoexcited triplet (T1) state has a metal-ligand-to-ligand charge-transfer character, where promotion to the excited electronic configuration shortens the Re(I)-N bond involving the bidentate triazolylpyridine while stretching the three fac-CO-Re(I) bonds as well as the linkage to the axial monodentate coligand. The calculated vertical (Evl) and 0-0 (E(0-0)) radiative transition energies are in very good agreement with the experimental values (Eexplum).

Abstract
In this Perspective, we highlight many examples of photoluminescent metal complexes supported by isocyanides, with an emphasis on recent developments including several from our own group. Work in this field has shown that the isocyanide can play important structural roles, both as a terminal ligand and as a bridging ligand for polynuclear structures, and can influence the excited-state character and excited-state dynamics. In addition, there are many examples of isocyanide-supported complexes where the isocyanide serves as a chromophoric ligand, meaning the low-energy excited states that are important in the photochemistry are partially or completely localized on the isocyanide. Finally, an emerging trend in the design of luminescent compounds is to use the isocyanide as an electrophilic precursor, converted to an acyclic carbene by nucleophilic addition which imparts certain photophysical advantages. This Perspective aims to show the diverse roles played by isocyanides in the design of luminescent compounds, showcasing the recent developments that have led to a substantial growth in fundamental knowledge, function, and applications related to photoluminescence.

Abstract
In the present study, the photophysical properties and preliminary time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) data of new rhenium(i) polypyridyl compounds, fac-[Re(L)(Am2phen)(CO)3]0/+, where Am2phen = 4,7-diamine-1,10-phenanthroline and L = Cl and ethyl isonicotinate (et-isonic), provided new insights into excited-state deactivation through an unusual inversion between two metal-to-ligand charge-transfer excited states. In addition, their cellular uptake using breast cancer (MCF-7) and melanoma (SkMel-147 and SkMel-29) cell lines and bioactivity were investigated and their cell-killing mechanism and protein expression were also studied. Preliminary TD-DFT results showed that both compounds exhibited a strong and broad absorption band around 300-400 nm which corresponds to a combination of ILAm2phen and MLCTRe→Am2phen transitions, and a strong contribution of charge transfer transition MLCTRe→et-isonic for fac-[Re(et-isonic)(Am2phen)(CO)3]+ is also observed. In contrast to typical Re(i) polypyridyl complexes, the substitution of Cl with the et-isonic ligand showed a bathochromic shift of the emission maxima, relatively low emission quantum yield and fast lifetime. Photophysical investigation of the fac-[ReCl(et-isonic)2(CO)3] compound provided meaningful information on the excited state manifold of the fac-[Re(L)(Am2phen)(CO)3]0/+ complexes. As shown in the absorption profile, a remarkable inversion of the lowest-lying excited state takes place from the usually observed MLCTRe→Am2phen to the unusual MLCTRe→et-isonic. The lipophilicity of the positive-complex was higher than that of the non-charge compound and the same trend for the activity against cells was observed, in the absence of light. In addition, flow cytometry and Western Blot analyses showed an overexpression of pro-caspase-9, suggesting a caspase proteolytic cascade through an intrinsic-pathway apoptosis mechanism. The photophysical properties of these compounds reported herein provide new fundamental insights into the understanding of substituent groups on polypyridyl ligands which are relevant to practical development.

Abstract
In this work, we describe the photoisomerization of facial rhenium(i) tricarbonyl complexes bearing P,N-bidentate pyridyl/phosphine ligands with different chelating rings and anions: RePNBr, RePNTfO, and RePNNBr, which are triggered under irradiation at 365 nm in solutions. The apparent photodegradation rate constants (kapp) depend on the coordinating ability of the solvent, being lowest in acetonitrile. The kapp value increases as the temperature rises, suggesting a reactive IL excited state thermally populated from the MLCT excited state involved. Using the Eyring equation, positive activation enthalpies (ΔH≠) accompanied by high negative values for the activation entropy (ΔS≠) were obtained. These results suggest whatever the P,N-ligand or anion, the reaction proceeds through a strongly solvated or a compact transition state, which is compatible with an associative mechanism for the photoisomerization. A 100-fold decrease in the log10 CFU value is observed for E. coli and S. aureus in irradiated solutions of the compounds, which follows the same tendency as their singlet oxygen generation quantum yield: RePNBr > RePNTfO > RePNNBr, while no antibacterial activity is observed in the darkness. This result indicates that the generation of singlet oxygen plays a key role in the antibacterial capacity of these complexes. Three P,N-rhenium tricarbonyl complexes exhibited photoisomerization upon irradiation at 365 nm, and no CO release was detected. The antibacterial activity is attributed to their singlet oxygen generation, following the same decreasing order: RePNBr > RePNTfO > RePNNBr.![]()

Abstract
This Minireview summarises and critically evaluates recent advances in the utilisation of discrete first-row transition-metal (TM) complexes as photosensitisers. Whilst many compounds absorb light, TM complexes are generally more desirable for photochemical applications, as they usually exhibit strong absorption of visible light, making them ideally suited to exploiting the sun as a freely available light source. Due to their outstanding activities, precious metals, such as iridium and ruthenium, are currently still at the forefront of photochemistry research. However, they also bear disadvantages with respect to abundance, cost and toxicity. Therefore, it is desirable to move to more abundant and less expensive systems that retain good photosensitising abilities. This Minireview will focus on first-row transition-metals, specifically titanium, copper, iron, and zinc, which have become the focus of increased attention over recent years as potential replacements for noble metals as photosensitisers. Their structure - activity relationships are explored and challenges in designing the ligands and complexes are discussed.

Abstract
The combined action of ultraviolet irradiation and microwave heating onto acetonitrile solution of [Re( N N )(CO)3 (NCMe)]OTf ( N N =phenantroline and neocuproine) afforded cis,trans-Re( N N )(CO)2 (NCMe)2 ]+ acetonitrile derivatives. Substitution of relatively labile NCMe with a series of aromatic N-donor ligands (pyridine, pyrazine, 4,4'-bipyridine, N-methyl-4,4'-bipyridine) gave a novel family of the diimine cis,trans-[Re( N N )(CO)2 (L)2 ]+ complexes. Photophysical studies of the obtained compounds in solution revealed unusually high absorption across the visible region and NIR phosphorescence with emission band maxima ranging from 711 to 805 nm. The nature of emissive excited states was studied using DFT calculations to show dominant contribution of 3 MLCT (dπ(Re)→π*( N N )) character. Electrochemical (CV and DPV) studies of the monocationic diimine complexes revealed one reduction and one oxidation wave assigned to reduction of the diimine moiety and oxidation of the rhenium center, respectively.

Abstract
A series of novel bimetallic TiIV amine bis(phenolate) complexes was synthesised and fully characterised. X-ray crystallography studies revealed distorted octahedral geometries around the Ti centres with single or double oxo-bridges connecting the two metals. These robust, air- and moisture-stable complexes were employed as photosensitisers generating singlet oxygen following irradiation with visible light (420 nm) LED module in a commercial flow reactor. All five complexes showed high activity in the photo-oxygenation of α-terpinene and achieved complete conversion to ascaridole in four hours at ambient temperature. The excellent selectivity of these photosensitisers towards ascaridole (vs. transformation to p-cymene) was demonstrated with control experiments using a traditional TiO2 catalyst. Further comparative studies employing the free pro-ligands as well as a monometallic analogue highlighted the importance of the 'TiO2 -like' moiety in the polymetallic catalysts. Computational studies were used to determine the nature of the ligand to metal charge transfer (LMCT) states and singlet-triplet gaps for each complex, the calculated trends in the UV-vis absorption spectra across the series agreed well with the experimental results.

Abstract
Using a density functional theory approach, we explore the emission properties of a family of bis-cyclometallated cationic iridium(iii) complexes of general formula [Ir(C^N)2(CN-tert-Bu)2]+ that have tert-butyl isocyanides as neutral auxiliary ligands. Taking the [Ir(ppy)2(CN-tert-Bu)2]+ complex (Hppy = 2-phenylpyridine) as a reference, the effect of replacing the pyridine ring in the cyclometallating ppy ligand by a five-membered azole ring has been examined. To this end, two series of complexes differing by the nature of the atom (either nitrogen or carbon) linking the azole to the phenyl ring of the cyclometallating ligand have been designed. Each series is composed of three molecules having an increasing number of nitrogen atoms (2 to 4) in the azole ring. The emission energies computed for the azole-containing [Ir(C^N)2(CN-tert-Bu)2]+ complexes show a generalized blue-shift compared to [Ir(ppy)2(CN-tert-Bu)2]+, in agreement with the experimental data available for two of the six complexes designed here. The electronic nature of the lowest-lying triplet (T1) is clearly established as a ligand-centred (3LC) state associated with the cyclometallating ligands, and cannot be described as a simple HOMO → LUMO promotion. Therefore, no clear trend based on the sole use of molecular orbital energies can be inferred to predict the emission properties. The significant oscillation in the emission quantum yield (ranging from 0.1% to 52%) experimentally reported is rationalized by the energy gap between the emitting T1 state and a non-radiative triplet state having metal-centred (3MC) d-d* nature. On the basis of such a model, two of the here proposed systems are expected to display significant emission quantum yields in the blue region of the visible spectra, which make them good candidates for electroluminescent applications.

Abstract
fac-[Re(ampy)(CO)3(NN)]+ complexes (ampy = 2-aminomethylpyridine and NN = 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), and 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy)) were synthesized, purified and characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), UV-visible and Fourier-transformed infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopies, and their photophysical properties were investigated using steady state and time-resolved emission spectroscopies. The electronic absorption spectra exhibit two main absorption bands: the higher energy band, which was assigned to intraligand transition (IL), and the lower energy band assigned to metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT). Both complexes showed emission at room temperature in a CH3CN solution (λmax = 560 nm, ϕ = 0.091, τ = 560 ns for fac-[Re(ampy)(CO)3(phen)]+; λmax = 568 nm, ϕ = 0.024, τ = 100 ns for fac-[Re(ampy)(CO)3(bpy)]+) and rigid media (λmax = 530 nm, τ = 3300 ns for fac-[Re(ampy)(CO)3(phen)]+; λmax = 530 nm, τ = 853 ns for fac-[Re(ampy)(CO)3(bpy)]+) arising from the lowest lying 3MLCTRe→NN excited state. Both complexes along with fac-[Re(L)(CO)3(NN)]+/0 complexes, L = Cl or pyridine, were capable of efficiently photosensitizing the generation of singlet oxygen with quantum yield in the range of 0.59-0.28. These results highlight the potential application of fac-[Re(L)(CO)3(NN)]+/0 complexes in the development of sensitizers for the generation of singlet oxygen.

Abstract
Mitochondrial metabolism is essential for tumorigenesis, and the development of cancer is usually accompanied by alternations of mitochondrial function. Emerging studies have demonstrated that targeting mitochondria and mitochondrial metabolism is an effective strategy for cancer therapy. In this work, eight phosphorescent organometallic rhenium(I) complexes have been synthesized and explored as mitochondria-targeted theranostic agents, capable of inducing and tracking the therapeutic effect simultaneously. Complexes 1b-4b can quickly and efficiently penetrate into A549 cells, specifically localizing within mitochondria, and their cytotoxicity is superior to cisplatin against the cancer cells screened. Notably, complex 3b [Re(CO)3(DIP) (py-3-CH2Cl)]+ containing thiol-reactive chloromethylpyridyl moiety for mitochondria immobilization shows higher cytotoxicity and selectivity against cancer cells than other Re(I) complexes without mitochondria-immobilization properties. Mechanistic studies show that complexes 1b-4b induce a cascade of mitochondria-dependent events including mitochondrial damage, mitochondrial respiration inhibition, cellular ATP depletion, reactive oxygen species (ROS) elevation, and caspase-dependent apoptosis. By comparison, mitochondria-immobilized 3b causes more effective repression of mitochondrial metabolism than mitochondrial-nonimmobilized complexes. The excellent phosphorescence and O2-sensitive lifetimes of mitochondria-immobilized 3b can be utilized for real-time tracking of the morphological changes of mitochondria and mitochondrial respiration repression during therapy process, accordingly providing reliable information for understanding anticancer mechanisms.

Abstract
The synthesis and photophysical properties of a novel series of rhenium tricarbonyl complexes based on tridentate phenanthridinyl-containing ligands are described. Photophysical data reveal beneficial luminescence behaviour especially for compounds with an asymmetric ligand set. These advantageous properties are not limited to organic solvents, but indeed also improved in aqueous solutions. The suitability of our new rhenium complexes as potent imaging agents has been confirmed by fluorescence microscopy on living cancer cells, which also confirms superior long-time stability under fluorescence microscopy conditions. Colocalisation studies with commercial organelle stains reveal an accumulation of the complexes in the endoplasmic reticulum for all tested cell lines.

Abstract
Although the interactions of transition metal complexes with biological molecules have been extensively studied, the use of luminescent transition metal complexes as intracellular sensors and bioimaging reagents has not been a focus of research until recently. The main advantages of luminescent transition metal complexes are their high photostability, long-lived phosphorescence that allows time-resolved detection, and large Stokes shifts that can minimize the possible self-quenching effect. Also, by the use of transition metal complexes, the degree of cellular uptake can be readily determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. For more than a decade, we have been interested in the development of luminescent transition metal complexes as covalent labels and noncovalent probes for biological molecules. We argue that many transition metal polypyridine complexes display triplet charge transfer ((3)CT) emission that is highly sensitive to the local environment of the complexes. Hence, the biological labeling and binding interactions can be readily reflected by changes in the photophysical properties of the complexes. In this laboratory, we have modified luminescent tricarbonylrhenium(I) and bis-cyclometalated iridium(III) polypyridine complexes of general formula [Re(bpy-R(1))(CO)3(py-R(2))](+) and [Ir(ppy-R(3))2(bpy-R(4))](+), respectively, with reactive functional groups and used them to label the amine and sulfhydryl groups of biomolecules such as oligonucleotides, amino acids, peptides, and proteins. Additionally, using a range of biological substrates such as biotin, estradiol, and indole, we have designed luminescent rhenium(I) and iridium(III) polypyridine complexes as noncovalent probes for biological receptors. The interesting results generated from these studies have prompted us to investigate the possible applications of luminescent transition metal complexes in intracellular systems. Thus, in the past few years, we have developed an interest in the cytotoxic activity, cellular uptake, and bioimaging applications of these complexes. Additionally, we and other research groups have demonstrated that many transition metal complexes have facile cellular uptake and organelle-localization properties and that their cytotoxic activity can be readily controlled. For example, complexes that can target the nucleus, nucleolus, mitochondria, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus have been identified. We anticipate that this selective localization property can be utilized in the development of intracellular sensors and bioimaging reagents. Thus, we have functionalized luminescent rhenium(I) and iridium(III) polypyridine complexes with various pendants, including molecule-binding moieties, sugar molecules, bioorthogonal functional groups, and polymeric chains such as poly(ethylene glycol) and polyethylenimine, and examined their potentials as biological reagents. This Account describes our design of luminescent rhenium(I) and iridium(III) polypyridine complexes and explains how they can serve as a new generation of biological reagents for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Abstract
The efficiency of singlet oxygen photosensitized by some ruthenium(ii) bipyridyl complex ions in aqueous media is reported in this study. Measurements were carried out in H2O and D2O. The effect of the deuterium isotope on the lifetime of (3)MLCT excited states of these complexes is studied in H2O and D2O. The deuterium isotope effect was discussed in terms of the vibronic coupling to the solvent in addition to the charge transfer to the solvent mechanism due to their dependence on the oxidation potential of the sensitizer. Quenching rate constants, kq, for quenching of the (3)MLCT states of these ruthenium complex ions by molecular oxygen were found to be in the range of (2.08-3.84) × 10(9) M(-1) s(-1) in H2O and (1.69-3.48) × 10(9) M(-1) s(-1) in D2O. The efficiency of singlet oxygen, O2((1)Δg), production as a result of the (3)MLCT quenching by oxygen, f, is reported in D2O and found to be in the range 0.25-0.56. It has been found that the lifetime of the excited state is longer in D2O, τ, than in H2O, τ, which was related to partial charge transfer to the solvent in addition to the vibronic coupling mechanism. Mechanisms by which the excited states of these ruthenium complexes are quenched by molecular oxygen that shows the competition between charge transfer, non-charge transfer deactivation channels or energy transfer assisted charge transfer deactivation mechanisms are reported.

Abstract
The new tris-heteroleptic complex [Ru(bpy)(dppn)(CH3CN)2](2+) (3, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, dppn = benzo[i]dipyrido[3,2-a;2',3'-c]phenazine) was synthesized and characterized in an effort to generate a molecule capable of both singlet oxygen ((1)O2) production and ligand exchange upon irradiation. Such dual reactivity has the potential to be useful for increasing the efficacy of photochemotherapy drugs by acting via two different mechanisms simultaneously. The photochemical properties and photoinduced cytotoxicity of 3 were compared to those of [Ru(bpy)2(dppn)](2+) (1) and [Ru(bpy)2(CH3CN)2](2+) (2), since 1 sensitizes the production of (1)O2 and 2 undergoes ligand exchange of the monodentate CH3CN ligands with solvent when irradiated. The quantum yield of (1)O2 production was measured to be 0.72(2) for 3 in methanol, which is slightly lower than that of 1, Φ = 0.88(2), in the same solvent (λirr = 460 nm). Complex 3 also undergoes photoinduced ligand exchange when irradiated in H2O (λirr = 400 nm), but with a low quantum efficiency (<1%). These results are explained by the presence of the low-lying ligand-centered (3)ππ* excited state of 3 localized on the dppn ligand, thus decreasing the relative population of the higher energy (3)dd state; the latter is associated with ligand dissociation. Cytotoxicity data with HeLa cells reveal that complex 3 exhibits a greater photocytotoxicity index, 1110, than does either 1 and 2, indicating that the dual-action complex is more photoactive toward cells in spite of its low ligand exchange quantum yield.

Abstract
In the recent years, organometallic compounds have become recognized as promising anti-cancer drug candidates. While radioactive (186/188)Re compounds are already used in clinics for cancer treatment, cold Re organometallic compounds have mostly been explored as luminescent probes for cell imaging and photosensitizers in photocatalysis. However, a growing number of studies have recently revealed the potential of Re organometallic complexes as anti-cancer agents. Several compounds have displayed cytotoxicity equaling or exceeding that of the well-established anti-cancer drug cisplatin. In this review, we present the currently known Re organometallic complexes that have shown anti-proliferative activity on cancer cell lines. A particular emphasis is placed on their cellular uptake and localization as well as their potential mechanism of action.

Abstract
Over the recent years, several Re(I) organometallic compounds have been shown to be toxic to various cancer cell lines. However, these compounds lacked sufficient selectivity towards cancer tissues to be used as novel chemotherapeutic agents. In this study, we probe the potential of two known N,N-bis(quinolinoyl) Re(I) tricarbonyl complex derivatives, namely Re(I) tricarbonyl [N,N-bis(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)amino]-4-butane-1-amine (Re-NH₂) and Re(I) tricarbonyl [N,N-bis(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)amino]-5-valeric acid (Re-COOH), as photodynamic therapy (PDT) photosensitizers. Re-NH₂ and Re-COOH proved to be excellent singlet oxygen generators in a lipophilic environment with quantum yields of about 75%. Furthermore, we envisaged to improve the selectivity of Re-COOH via conjugation to two types of peptides, namely a nuclear localization signal (NLS) and a derivative of the neuropeptide bombesin, to form Re-NLS and Re-Bombesin, respectively. Fluorescent microscopy on cervical cancer cells (HeLa) showed that the conjugation of Re-COOH to NLS significantly enhanced the compound's accumulation into the cell nucleus and more specifically into its nucleoli. Importantly, in view of PDT applications, the cytotoxicity of the Re complexes and their bioconjugates increased significantly upon light irradiation. In particular, Re-Bombesin was found to be at least 20-fold more toxic after light irradiation. DNA photo-cleavage studies demonstrated that all compounds damaged DNA via singlet oxygen and, to a minor extent, superoxide production.

Abstract
While cyclometalated complexes have been extensively studied for optoelectronic applications, these compounds also represent a relatively new class of photosensitizers for the production of singlet oxygen. Thus far, singlet oxygen generation from cyclometalated Ir and Pt complexes has been studied in detail. In this review, photophysical data for singlet oxygen generation from these complexes are presented, and the mechanism of (1) O2 generation is discussed, including evidence for singlet oxygen generation via an electron-transfer mechanism for some of cyclometalated Ir complexes. The period from the first report of singlet oxygen generation by a cyclometalated Ir complex in 2002 through August 2013 is covered in this review. This new class of singlet oxygen photosensitizers may prove to be rather versatile due to the ease of substitution of ancillary ligands without loss of activity. Several cyclometalated complexes have been tethered to zeolites, polystyrene, or quantum dots. Applications for photooxygenation of organic molecules, including "traditional" singlet oxygen reactions (ene reaction, [4 + 2] and [2 + 2] cycloadditions) as well as oxidative coupling of amines are presented. Potential biomedical applications are also reviewed.
