Abstract: The electrochemical in situ SERS study of the interaction between [Co(phen)3] 2+/3+ and ssDNA as well as dsDNA self-assembled on the gold substrate are conducted here for the first time, and the molecular-level information of interaction is obtained. In situ SERS spectroscopic evidence shows that [Co(phen)3] 2+/3+ binds dsDNA via both the intercalative mode into the A-T and G-C-rich regions and the electrostatic mode with [Co(phen)3] 2+/3+-PO2 interaction. A partial reduction of B-DNA structure of dsDNA in favor of A-DNA occurs upon [Co(phen)3] 2+/3+-dsDNA interaction. While [Co(phen)3] 2+/3+ binds ssDNA probably via electrostatic mode with [Co(phen)3] 2+/3+-backbone interaction.

Key words: ssDNA, dsDNA, [Co(phen)3] 2+/3+, Surface Enhanced Raman Spectrascopy(SERS), Interaction
