Photoactivation of Pt(IV) complexes as a prodrug strategy for metallochemotherapeutics; a) general scheme of prodrug activation by photoreduction; b) photosubstitution and photoisomerization are competing photoreaction pathways, which can result in different reactive species upon reduction; c) an example of a photoactive platinum(IV) diazido complex developed in our lab.
