Trinuclear and model mononuclear cationic monodentate Rh-III, Ir-III and Ru-II complexes with alkylated 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) moieties have been prepared and characterized using NMR and IR spectroscopy, HR-ESI mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The metals coordinate to the ligands via the phosphorus of the PTA, and this was confirmed by shifts in the P-31{H-1} NMR spectra. The cytotoxicities of all the compounds were investigated against the WHCO1 esophageal cancer cell line. The Ir-III mononuclear complex proved to be the most cytotoxic. Additionally, H-1 NMR model studies demonstrated its DNA binding ability while UV/Vis studies demonstrated the ability of the iridium mononuclear complex to interact with the double helix structure of Red Salmon testes DNA.
