Resumen: Metal alkynyl complexes have many opportunities to offer in the development of new metal-based chemotherapeutic agents, especially for gold and platinum derivatives, whose complexes present a great stability due to the M–C[tbnd]CR bonds. This review covers the chemistry of gold and platinum complexes bearing alkynyl ligands that present antitumor activity. Additionally, platinum compounds are promising candidates to be used as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy with easily tuneable photophysical properties.
