Transition metal complexes are of increasing interest as photosensitizers in photodynamic
therapy (PDT) and, more recently, for photochemotherapy (PCT). In recent years, Ru (II) …

Ruthenium (II)[Ru (II)] polypyridyl complexes have been the focus of intense investigations
since work began exploring their supramolecular interactions with DNA. In recent years …

For conventional potential-resolved ratiometric electrochemiluminescence (ECL) systems,
the introduction of multiplex coreactants is imperative. However, the undesirable interactions …

The DNA photoswitch [Ru (bpy) 2dppz] 2+(bpy= 2, 2′-bipyridine, dppz= dipyrido [3, 2-a:
2′, 3′-c] phenazine) has attracted much attention and become a powerful tool for studying …

Functional nucleic acids with fluorescence properties are powerful research tools for both
biomolecular analysis and biological nanomaterials. This review collected these interesting …

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) plays a crucial but incompletely understood role in cellular
biochemistry and etiology of numerous disease states. Thus, there is an urgent need for …

The rapid efflux of Pt‐based chemotherapeutics by cancer cells is one of the major causes of
drug resistance in clinically available drugs. Therefore, both the high cellular uptake as well …

Recent research on the study of the interaction of ruthenium polypyridyl compounds and
defined sequence nucleic acids is reviewed. Particular emphasis is paid to complexes [Ru …

Transition metal luminophores are emerging as important tools for intracellular imaging and
sensing. Their putative suitability for such applications has long been recognised but poor …

The nitrile containing Ru (II) polypyridyl complex [Ru (phen) 2 (11, 12-dCN-dppz)] 2+(1) is
shown to act as a sensitive infrared probe of G-quadruplex (G4) structures. UV–visible …
