Abstract

Whereas the complex [Ru(phen)2Medpq]2+ (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline; Medpq = 2-methyldipyrido[3,2-f:2′,3′-h]-quinoxaline) is luminescent in both aqueous and nonaqueous solutions, [Ru(phen)2dpqa]2+ (2-pentylamidodipyrido[3,2-f:2′,3′-h]-quinoxaline) does not emit in water but does so strongly in organic solvents or when bound to DNA—suggesting its use as a photochemical and photophysical probe for nucleic acids.
