Abstract
Slipped under the radar? 1HNMR spectroscopic examination revealed that [Ru(η6-arene)Cl2(L)] (L=N-heterocyclic ligands) complexes readily undergo a ligand exchange reaction in DMSO (see scheme), a popular medium for preparing stock solutions for biological screening. It is therefore highly important for researchers to study the stability in DMSO before reporting on the biological activity of such complexes.
