An iron(<scp>iii</scp>) complex selectively mediated cancer cell death: crystal structure, DNA targeting and<i>in vitro</i>antitumor activities

Abstract

Three new iron(<sc>iii</sc>) complexes were prepared, and complex<bold>3</bold>exhibited a 14-fold higher selectivity index for HeLa<italic>vs</italic>. LO2 normal cells than cisplatin.
