Four complexes of the ligand 1,12-diazaperylene (DAP) have been prepared, [Ru(bpy)n(DAP)(3-n)]2+ where n = 0-2 and [Ru(DAP)3]2+. The [Ru(DAP)3]2+ complex was characterized by X-ray analysis and was found to exhibit the expected propeller-like structure with significant intermolecular pi-stacking interactions. The three Ru(II) complexes showed self-consistent optoelectronic properties with similar ligand-centered pi-pi* absorptions in the range of 333-468 nm and MLCT bands associated with the DAP which increased in intensity and decreased in energy as the number of DAP ligands varied from 1 to 3. Hypochromicity and viscosity changes were observed that were consistent with DAP intercalation into DNA, and binding constants were measured in the range of 1.4-1.6 x 10(6) M(-1) for the mixed ligand complexes. Furthermore, the complex [Ru(bpy)2(DAP)]2+ was found to photocleave plasmid DNA upon irradiation with visible light.

Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) plays a pivotal role as an essential intermediate in energy metabolism, influencing nearly all biological metabolic processes. Cancer cells predominantly rely on glycolysis for ATP production, differing significantly from normal cells. Real-time in situ monitoring and rapid response to intracellular ATP levels offers more valuable insights into cancer cell physiology.

The five-coordinate complex [RuCl(PNP)] () was synthesized from the binuclear [RuCl(-cym)] with a PNP-type ligand (PNP = 3,6-di--butyl-1,8-bis(dipropylphosphino)methyl)-9-carbazole - (Cbzdiphos )H) in a toluene solution, within 20 h at 110 °C, producing a green solid, which was precipitated with a 1/1 mixture of - pentane/HMDSO. The complex was characterized by NMR-H, C, and P{H}, mass spectroscopy-LIFDI, FTIR, UV/vis spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry, as well as a description of the optimized structure by DFT calculation. The reactivity of was investigated in the presence of potassium triethylborohydride (KBEtH, in THF solution of 1.

Herein, the photophysical, photochemical properties and photogenerated excited state dynamics of two new Ru(II) complexes, viz. [Ru(p-ttp)(bpy)(PTA)]2+ [1]2+, [Ru(p-ttp)(phen)(PTA)]2+ [2]2+ having a phosphorus-based ligand PTA [p-ttp = p-tolyl terpyridine; bpy = 2,2'-bipyridyl; phen = 1,10-phenthroline and PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane] are reported. Upon excitation with 470 nm LED, [1]2+ and [2]2+ neither undergo ligand release nor exhibit room temperature luminescence/1O2 generation.
