number of platinum(II) complexes with steric hindrance derived from (1R,2R)-N1-benzylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine derivatives were designed and prepared. Biological assay indicated that most complexes showed antitumor activity against the tested cancer cell lines, especially those with chloride anions as leaving groups had compatible or superior activity to cisplatin and oxaliplatin. Complex 2a, as the most
