title: Anodic properties of diarylethene derivatives having organometallic piano-stool tags.
abstract: The half-sandwich tamoxifen derivative, Mn(CO)(3)(η(5)-C(5)H(4)(Et)C=C(C(6)H(5))(2)), gives a radical cation which is charge-delocalized between the "cymantrenyl" and diphenylethene moieties and undergoes facile metal-carbonyl substitution reactions. Mn and Re complexes with finely tuned redox potentials can be obtained for cancer cell inhibition studies.
