Abstract: Two new ligands,imidazo[f],10-phenanthroline(IP)and 2-phenylimidazo[f]1,10-phenanthroline(PIP),and four new complexes,[Ru (bpy)2(IP)]2+(b2IP),[Ru (bpy)2(PIP)]2+(b2PIP),[Ru(phen)2(IP)]2+(p2IP)and[Ru(phen)2(PIP)]2+(p2PIP)were synthesized and characterized.The binding of the complexes to calf thymus DNAwas investigated by using electronic absorption,steady-state luminescence and circular dichroism spectra.The order of total binding affinities was found to be b2IP<b2PIP≤p2IP<p2PIP,consistent with the order of the ligands'planarities,π-electron extension and hydrophobicities,bpy《phen
