Abstract: The complexes of Δ-and Λ-[Ru(bpy)2(HPIP)]2+(bpy=2,2'-bipyridine, HPIP=2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)imidazo [4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline) were prepared and their racemic complex were dialysed against calf thymus DNA(CT-DNA). During the course of dialysis with the solution stirring for 48h, the CD signals of the dialyzate experience disappearing-appearing-disappearing. However, in the similar conditions except for not stirring, strong CD signals appeared. From the results obtained, several novel opinions were suggested. Firstly, the evidence of different binding rates of Δ-andΛ-enantiomers of polypyridyl ruthenium(Ⅱ) complexes with CT-DNA, the first example, was demonstrated. As for the dialysis experiment, binding of -enantiomer is dynamically preferred for CT-DNA. Secondly, the different binding rates may be deduced from different binding modes of the enantiomers.
