The aggregation and DNA binding behavior of a new G-quadruplex selective ligand, 6a,12a-diazadibenzo-[a,g]fluorenylium derivative, was studied by UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The formation of ligand aggregates with different spectral characteristics was observed at low and high concentration of NaCl, respectively. The ligand binds to G-quadruplex with much higher affinity than to single- and double-stranded DNA.
