Abstract
The syntheses and desymmetration of a series of novel polypyridyl ligands a s well as their complexes, and their DNA-binding properties are reported in this review. The stresses are focused on the functions and potential appli cations of such complexes as DNA structural probe, DNA molecular light swit ches, anti-cancer drugs, and photoactivated cleavage agents.
