A. Delguerzo et al., A NEW BIFUNCTIONAL RA-TOLUENESULFONAMIDOPHENANTHROLINE-AMINOQUINOLINELIGAND - SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE CORRESPONDING RU(II) COMPLEX, INORGANIC CHEMISTRY COMMUNICATIONS, 1(9), 1998, pp. 339-342
The synthesis and characterisation of a new bifunctional Ru(II) comple
x are presented. This compound contains a metallic unit, photoreactive
versus the guanines of DNA, and a new bifunctional ligand. An intramo
lecular luminescence quenching makes this complex an attractive candid
ate for photoprobing DNA where the intramolecular quenching process is
inhibited with restoration of luminescence. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science
