The photophysical and photochemical properties of two Pt(IV)Re(I) conjugates were studied via both experimental and computational methods. Both conjugates exhibit modest photocytotoxicity against ovarian cancer cells. X-ray fluorescence microscopy showed that Pt and Re colocalize in cells whether they had been irradiated or not. This work demonstrates the potential of photoactivated multilimetallic agents for combating cancer.
