Abstract: The interaction between complex Co(phen)2TATP 3+ (phen=1,10 phenanthroline, TATP= 1,4,8,9-tetranitrogen-trisphene) and DNAhas been investigated by using rotating ring-disk electrode technique, and its models are discussed from the parameters obtained under diffusion and electrochemical control, respectively. It has been found that the values of the following electrochemical parameters: the apparent diffusion coefficient, transfer coefficient, rate constant at half-wave potential, collection coefficient, desorption efficiency etc., for the complex of Co(phen)2TATP 3+ decrease significantly in the presence of DNAcompared with that in the absence of DNA. It is shown from the comparative studies of Co(bpy)33+ that, in the presence of DNA, significant differences exist in the change of transfer coefficient and collection coefficient between Co(bpy)33+ and Co(phen)2TATP 3+ .
