3,1,2-Ruthenadicarbadodecaborane complexes bearing the [C2B9H11]2− (dicarbollide) ligand are robust scaffolds, with exceptional thermal and chemical stability. Our previous work has shown that these complexes possess promising anti-tumor activities in vitro, and tend to form aggregates (or self-assemblies) in aqueous solutions. Here, we report on the synthesis and characterization of four ruthenium(II) complexes of the type [3-(η6-arene)-1,2-R2-3,1,2-RuC2B9H9], bearing either non-polar (R = Me (2–4)) or polar (R = CO2Me (7)) substituents at the cluster carbon atoms. The behavior in aqueous solution of complexes 2, 7 and the parent unsubstituted [3-(η6-p-cymene)-3,1,2-RuC2B9H11] (8) was investigated via UV-Vis spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). All complexes showed spontaneous formation of self-assemblies (108–109 particles mL−1), at low micromolar concentration, with high polydispersity. For perspective applications in medicine, there is thus a strong need for further characterization of the spontaneous self-assembly behavior in aqueous solutions for the class of neutral metallacarboranes, with the ultimate scope of finding the optimal conditions for exploiting this self-assembling behavior for improved biological performance.
