Novel oxaliplatin(iv) complexes conjugated with ligands bearing pendant 1,2-dithiolane/1,2-diselenolane/cyclopentyl motifs

Using isologous 1,2-dithiolane, 1,2-diselenolane and cyclopentyl containing analogues as axial ligands, three series of oxaliplatin( iv ) complexes were synthesized. The effects of ligands on cytotoxicity profile were investigated.
