Intersystem crossing (ISC), formally forbidden within nonrelativistic quantum theory, is the
mechanism by which a molecule changes its spin state. It plays an important role in the …

Ruthenium compounds, particularly Ru (II) polypyridine complexes, are the class of
transition metal complexes which has been most deeply investigated from a photochemical …

Fluorescently labeled oligonucleotide probes have been widely used in biotechnology, and
fluorescence quenching by the interaction between the dyes and a nucleobase has been …

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 …

The mononuclear mixed ligand copper (II) complexes of the type [Cu (l-tyr)(diimine)](ClO4),
where tyr is l-tyrosine and diimine is 2, 2′-bipyridine (bpy)(1), 1, 10-phenanthroline …

Fluorescence decay times of the nucleosides: adenosine, guanosine, cytidine and
thymidine, and of the corresponding nucleotides, were determined using the technique of …

We report temperature-dependent excited-state lifetime measurements on [Ru (bpy) 2dppz]
2+ in both protic and aprotic solvents. These experiments yield a unifying picture of the …

Since the mid 1970's interest in the chemistry and applications of ruthenium polypyridyl
complexes has increased steadily. In this perspective, the development of this area is …

This review primarily covers studies of ruthenium (II) complexes with the dppz (dipyrido [2, 3-
a: 3′, 2′-c] phenazine) ligand; in solution, in polymers and surfactant/lipid media, and …

The interactions between the stereoisomers of the chiral bis-intercalator [μ-C4 (cpdppz) 2-
(phen) 4Ru2] 4+ and DNA reveal interesting dynamic discrimination properties. The two …
