Cover Feature: Cellular Mechanistic Considerations on Cytotoxic Mode of Action of Phosphino Ru(II) and Ir(III) Complexes (Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 33/2023)

The Cover Feature shows the fight of a phosphino Ru (or Ir) organometallic compound (left) with a cancer cell (right) in the boxing ring. The cancer cell, which is depicted as an ugly, green monster with three eyes, is wearing a yellow‐orange t‐shirt and red boxing gloves. The X‐ray structure of the...

Summary:The Cover Feature shows the fight of a phosphino Ru (or Ir) organometallic compound (left) with a cancer cell (right) in the boxing ring. The cancer cell, which is depicted as an ugly, green monster with three eyes, is wearing a yellow‐orange t‐shirt and red boxing gloves. The X‐ray structure of the Ru organometallic compound is presented with orange phosphorus, dark green ruthenium, and light green chloride ions. The ruthenium complex is not even wearing boxing gloves, because it is very sure that it can easily beat the cancer cell and win the fight.
