Abstract: A novel ruthenium complex [Ru(bpy)2(PNT)]2+ (bpy=2,2’-bipyridine, PNT=2-[4’-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl]-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, electrospray mass spectra and 1H NMR. The binding of the complexes with calf thymus DNA was investigated by absorption spectroscopy, luminescence titrations, viscosity measurements and DNA thermal denaturation experiments. The experimental results suggest that [Ru(bpy)2(PNT)]2+ binds with DNA by partial intercalation.
