We have described the antitumor properties and mode of action of gold(III), palladium(II) and platinum(II) compounds containing iminophosphorane ligands.1 We report here on the synthesis, antitumor properties and potential mode of action of heterometallic and monometallic d8 coordination complexes containing iminophosphoranes derived from ferrocene-phosphines (e.g. 1 -2 ) and containing luminescent 8-aminoquinoline (3 ).
