title: Organometallic ruthenium complexes with thiosemicarbazone ligands: Synthesis, structure and cytotoxicity of [(eta-p-cymene)Ru(NS)Cl] (NS = 9-anthraldehyde thiosemicarbazones).
abstract: A series of half-sandwich arene-ruthenium complexes of the type [(eta(6)-p-cymene) Ru(thiosemicarbazone)Cl](+) have been synthesized and their biological activity investigated. The first structurally characterized arene-ruthenium half-sandwich complex with a thiosemicarbazone ligand is reported.
