Abstract
Photocleavage of double-stranded circular DNA was examined using a pho sphorus(v)porphyrin derivative. The P(V)porphyrin derivative cleaved t he DNA upon visible light irradiation both in air and in argon. Photor eactions through an indirect process with singlet oxygen and a direct electron transfer process were suggested.
