The development of metal complexes for optoelectronic applications is a fertile area of
research. In contrast to the rigorous development of mononuclear metal complexes …

Since the elucidation of the structure of double helical DNA, the construction of small
molecules that recognize and react at specific DNA sites has been an area of considerable …

Increasing numbers of DNA structures are being revealed using biophysical, spectroscopic
and genomic methods. The diversity of transition metal complexes is also growing, as the …

The success of fluorescence experiments requires attention to experimental details and an
understanding of the instrumentation. There are also many potential artifacts that can distort …

Transition metal complexes that reversibly bind to DNA have been studied for almost 30
years. In the last few years a variety of new systems have been developed, employing a …

Non-covalent DNA-recognition by synthetic agents is surveyed in this tutorial review, and
contrasted with biomolecular DNA-recognition. The principles and forces involved in DNA …

The field of metal-based anticancer drugs was initiated by cisplatin, one of the leading
agents in clinical use. Cisplatin acts by binding to DNA and forming 1, 2 intrastrand cross …

The DNA photoswitch [Ru (bpy) 2dppz] 2+(bpy= 2, 2′-bipyridine, dppz= dipyrido [3, 2-a:
2′, 3′-c] phenazine) has attracted much attention and become a powerful tool for studying …

Concomitant with our increasing knowledge of the structure and biological role of nucleic
acids is the interest in the development of small molecules that can regulate DNA and RNA …

The population and reactivity of two low-lying excited states in [Ru (bpy) 2 (dppn)] 2+(bpy= 2,
2′-bipyridine, dppn= benzo [i] dipyrido [3, 2-a: 2′, 3′-c] phenazine), a weakly emissive …
