The chemical structures of cisplatin, transplatin, picoplatin and the three novel dinuclear platinum-based compounds used in this study. Note that (a) cisplatin, (b) transplatin and (c) picoplatin are mononuclear compounds, consisting of a single central platinum atom; whereas the (d) 1,8 platinum, (e) 1,10 platinum and (f) 1,12 platinum are dinuclear compounds, consisting of two platinum atoms separated by alkane linker chains containing 8, 10 and 12 carbon atoms, respectively. Note that picoplatin is shown for reference only and was not used in this study
