چکیده

The new Ru(II) polypyridyl complex 1 was synthesised using microwave irradiation from the new polypyridyl ligand 2'DipyTAP', and its photophysical properties, and DNA binding abilities were investigated using various spectroscopic techniques; and 1 was shown to act as a 'NIR molecular light switch' for DNA with an emission window between 680 and 860 nm.

Photophysical and biological investigation of novel luminescent Ru(II)-polypyridyl-1,8-naphthalimide Tröger's bases as cellular imaging agents.

The synthesis and photophysical properties of 1 and 2, two Ru(II)-polypyridyl based-1,8-naphthalimide Tröger's bases, are described; these were found to stabilize double stranded DNA, undergo rapid cellular uptake, displaying good luminescence without affecting cell viability even after 24 hours of incubation.

Ruthenium polypyridyl squalene derivative: a novel self-assembling lipophilic probe for cellular imaging.

Transition metal complexes provide a promising avenue for designing new therapeutic and diagnostic agents. In particular, ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes are useful for studying cellular uptake, due to their easy synthesis and unique photophysical properties. Dyes are frequently combined with material substrates to modulate their properties, enhance stability, reduce toxicity, and improve d...

Photochemically active DNA-intercalating ruthenium and related complexes – insights by combining crystallography and transient spectroscopy

Recent research on the study of the interaction of ruthenium polypyridyl compounds and defined sequence nucleic acids is reviewed. Particular emphasis is paid to complexes [Ru(LL)2(Int)]2+ containing potentially intercalating ligands (Int) such as dipyridophenazine (dppz), which are known to display light-switching or photo-oxidising behaviour, depending on the nature of the ancillary ligands. ...
