This review will cover the developments in the chemistry of phenanthroline-based ligands in
the last 10–15 years. 1, 10-Phenanthroline (phen) is a classic ligand in coordination …

Generation of radicals in vivo depends on metabolic activities. The reactions are usually
influenced by (i) the presence and concentration of oxygen;(ii) the availability of transition …

The nature of the binding of several ruthenium polypyridyl complexes containing 2, 2‐
bipyridine (bipy), 4, 4‐dimethyl‐2, 2‐bipyridine (DMB), 1, 10‐phenanthroline (phen), 4, 7 …

Background: Chemical cross-linking is a valuable tool with which to study protein–protein
interactions. Recently, a new kind of cross-linking reaction was developed in which the …

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 …

The efficiency of photosensitized DNA cleavage and quantum yields of singlet oxygen
production (Φ Δ) have been determined for the metal complexes [Ru (bpy) 2 (ddz)] 2+,[Ru …

Near-UV or visible light irradiation of Ru (tap) 2 (bpy) 2+(1)(tap= 1, 4, 5, 8-
tetraazaphenanthrene; bpy= 2, 2 '-bipyridyl) in the presence of duplex DNA induces the …

The luminescence quenching of ruthenium‐tris‐l, 4, 5, 8‐tetraazaphenanthrene [Ru (tap)
32+] by nucleotides approaches the diffusion rate only with guanosine‐5′‐monophosphate …

The photochemical reactions induced by metal complexes with DNA are reviewed, with most
emphasis on polypyridyl complexes [especially those of Ru (II), Rh (III) and Co (III)] …

Persulphate is an emerging oxidant in the field of advanced oxidation processes for the
degradation of environmentally persistent organic compounds. The present study shows that …
