Therapeutic metal (0)-containing CO- releasing molecules : mechanistic insight and bioapplications
The administration of carbon monoxide (CO) to living systems has been found to elicit beneficial therapeutic responses in many different applications. In order to deliver CO safely and controllably at concentrations able to provide these positive effects, the use of carbon monoxide-releasing molecul...

The administration of carbon monoxide (CO) to living systems has been found to elicit beneficial therapeutic responses in many different applications. In order to deliver CO safely and controllably at concentrations able to provide these positive effects, the use of carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CO-RMs) has been developed. This thesis details the discovery of new classes of metal(O)-containing organometallic CO-RMs, their ability to release CO and their therapeutic action. Hexacarbonyl(~l2-alkyne)dicobalt(O) complexes were highlighted as potential CO- RMs. By varying the substituents on the alkyne ligand, a range of CO-release rates in aqueous media were obtained.
