These observations suggest that these complexes specifically to target [ER.sup.+] cancer cells such as breast and ovarian cancer cells provide a direct strategy to enhance the antitumor effect of
platinum complexes. In addition, Gou's group [109] reported conjugation of the Pt(IV) moiety to the ER modulator tamoxifen, named Tam-Pt(IV) (Figure 18(65-68)), which was selectively and efficiently taken up by [ER.sup.+] positive tumor cells.
This research gave way to a new molecular modification method for promoting excimer light emission particular to flat 4-coordinate cyclometalated
platinum complexes, and created
platinum complexes with high color rendering properties despite being a simple light emitting material.
