Abstract
The complexion [Co(phen)(2)dppz](3+) (where phen is o-phenanthroline, and dppz is dipyrido[3,2-a: 2',3'-c] phenazine) has been synthesized. This complex (as perchlorate salt) was characterized by elemental anal ysis, molar conductivity and IR spectra. The interact:ion of the compl ex with calf thymus DNA has been studied using absorption spectra and fluorescence spectra. The complex is also shown to be a more efficient photosensitiser for single strand breaks in plasmid DNA. (C) 1997 Els evier Science Ltd.
