Abstract
Redox-active ferrocenes bearing a long alkylene chain (FUT) were aggre gated along the backbone of double helical DNA to afford redox-active (outer) and hydrophobic (inner) spheres around the double helical core . In this system, the redox potential of the ferrocene moiety shifted anodically, compared with the uncomplexed FUT, possibly due to hydroph obic interaction between the long alkylene chains.
