Two Ru(II)-Co(III) heterodinuclear complexes have been synthesised as model complexes for photoactivated cytotoxins. Photoinduced ligand release has been demonstrated and the rate shown to depend on dioxygen concentration. Emission lifetimes and quantum yields are reported. These results validate the concept and justify further work to synthesise systems containing cytotoxic ligands.
