Abstract
The new Ru(II) polypyridyl complex 1 was synthesised using
microwave irradiation from the new polypyridyl ligand 2
‘DipyTAP’, and its photophysical properties, and DNA
binding abilities were investigated using various spectroscopic
techniques; and 1 was shown to act as a ‘NIR molecular
light switch’ for DNA with an emission window between
680 and 860 nm.
