Ruthenium complexes and curcuminoid species have both independently been shown to exhibit a number of biologically relevant properties. The complex (η6-cymene)Ru(Cl)(curcuminate) has been shown to exhibit enhanced cytotoxic properties with respect to its precursors, but no direct analogues have been reported to date. Using a straight forward method, several (cymene)Ru(Cl)("curc") have been prepared using an array of synthetic curcumin analogues. 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and single crystal X-ray diffractometry have all been utilized to characterize these compounds.
