Ru(ii) complexes with diazine ligands: Electronic modulation of the coordinating group is key to the design of "dual action" photoactivated agents
Chemical Communications, 54(88), 12487–12490.

TL;DR:
This effect is general, as it is effective with different Ru(ii) structures, and demonstrates that diazine-based drugs are the preferred choice for the development of light-activated dual action Ru(II) agents.
