From anticancer drugs such as cisplatin to imaging agents of europium and terbium, metal complexes have become an integral part of many aspects of medicine today. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a growing field of medicine as a treatment modality for a variety of cancers, macular degeneration, and antibacterials, to name a few. PDT utilizes photosensitizers, typically organic macrocycles, to produce the photodynamic effect; however, a growing area of study deals with new photosensitizers based on transition metal complexes. This book discusses the most recent advances in ruthenium chemistry as it relates to photodynamic therapy. (Imprint: Nova)
