Abstract

The new metallointercalator 1̲, a mixed-ligand ruthenium(II) complex incorporating a quinone-fused dipyridophenazine ligand, effects an efficient cleavage of the supercoiled plasmid DNA upon activation with visible light. In addition, the quinone/hydroquinone redox couple 1̲/2̲ represents a molecular light-switching device displaying interconversion between non-luminescent state 1̲ and luminescent state 2̲.
