Tuning the efficacy of ruthenium(II)-arene (RAPTA) antitumour compounds with fluorinated arene ligands

Rosario Scopelliti, Paul Joseph Dyson, Ursula Röthlisberger, Enrico Marko Tapavicza, Andrew Douglas Phillips, Anna Katherine Renfrew

A series of compounds of general formula [Ru(eta(6)-fluoroarene)(pta)Cl-2] (fluoroarene = C6H5F, C6H5CF3, and 1,4-C6H4CH3F; pta = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.1]decane) have been prepared and characterized spectroscopically. Additionally, X-ray dif ...

Non-adiabatic Dynamics Using Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory: assessing the Coupling Strengths

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Enrico Marko Tapavicza

Light-driven reactions constitute an important class of processes in physics, chemistry, and biology. The development of accurate and efficient computational tools for the study of excited states dynamics has thus become of primary importance. Recently, we ...

Quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) Car-Parrinello simulations in excited states

Marc-Etienne Moret, Ursula Röthlisberger, Leonardo Guidoni, Ivano Tavernelli, Enrico Marko Tapavicza

The combination of time-dependent d. functional theory (TDDFT) for the description of excited states with a hybrid quantum mechanics/mol. mechanics (QM/MM) approach enables the study of photochem. processes in complex environments. Here, we present a short ...
