The medicinal properties of organometallic compounds are under intensive evaluation, especially in the treatment of cancer, as they exhibit certain properties that appear to be superior to those of other types of drug. We identify these properties and show where current organometallic drugs are finding most interest, and describe some recent results from our own research.

Reactions of antitumour active bent metallocenes with bioligands can be accompanied by full 5-bonded cyclopentadienyl ring elimination or the bent metallocene fragment M(Cp)2 remains unaffected. It has not been easy to decide unambiguously whether the reaction products contain M(Cp)2 or M(Cp) fragments. We have found that Raman spectroscopy is a very simple and sensitive tool for detection of the bent metallocene fragment M(Cp)2 in both solid state and solution.

[2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4]SnCl3 (1) and its DMSO adduct [2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4]SnCl3·DMSO (1a) have been prepared. The NMR data (1H, 13C, 119Sn) in solution indicate 5- and 6-coordinated metal atoms in 1 and 1a, respectively. The molecular structure in solid state was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The N atom of the pendant CH2NMe2 arm is strongly coordinated to the tin atom, thus resulting in distorted trigonal bipyramidal (C, N)SnCl3 and octahedral (C, N)SnCl3O cores for 1 and 1a, respectively. For both compounds hydrogen bonding generates supramolecular associations in the crystal.
