The interaction with DNA of the platinum(II) square planar complexes [Pt(N-N)(py)(2)](2+) (N-N = 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), dipyrido[3,2-d:2',3'-f]quinoxaline (dpq), dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (dppz), benzodipyrido[b:3,2-h:2'3'-f]phenazine (bdppz)) has been investigated by means of absorption, circular and linear dichroism spectroscopy, DNA melting, and viscosity. In the presence of excess [DNA] all the complexes intercalate to the double helix. For those with the most extended phenanthrolines the binding mode depends on the [DNA]/[complex] ratio (q); at low q values the substances bind externally to DNA probably self-aggregating along the double helix. When the DNA concentration is large enough, the aggregate breaks up and the complex intercalates within the nucleobases. The complexes self-aggregate, without added DNA, in the presence of a large salt concentration.

Dicationic, -symmetrical, tris-chelate Pt(IV) complexes of general formula [Pt(trz)(N∧N)](OTf), bearing two cyclometalated 4-butyl-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene (trz) ligands and one aromatic diimine [N∧N = 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy, ), 4,4'-di--butyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dbbpy, ), 4,4'-dimethoxi-2,2'-bipyridine (dMeO-bpy, ), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen, ), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (bphen, ), dipyrido[3,2-:2',3'-]phenazine (dppz, ), or 2,3-diphenylpyrazino[2,3-][1,10]phenanthroline (dpprzphen, )] are obtained through chloride abstraction from [PtCl(trz)] () using AgOTf in the presence of the corresponding diimine. Complexes show long-lived phosphorescence from LC excited states involving the diimine ligand, with quantum yields that reach 0.18 in solution and 0.

The preparation, electrochemistry and photophysical properties of a heteroleptic chromium(III) polypyridyl complex [Cr(TMP)(dppn)] () containing two 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (TMP) ligands and the π-extended benzodipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-]phenazine (dppn) ligand are reported. The visible absorption spectrum of reveals distinct bands between 320 and 420 nm characteristic of dppn-based ligand-centered transitions, with found to be nonemissive in aqueous solution but weakly luminescent in aerated acetonitrile solution. Transient visible absorption (TrA) spectroscopy reveals that 400 nm excitation of leads to initial population of a ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) state which evolves within tens of ps to form a dppn-localized intraligand (IL) state which persists for longer than 7 ns and efficiently sensitizes singlet oxygen.

It is crucial to develop highly efficient electrochemistry systems for sensitive detection of tumour markers. In this work, naphthalenediimide derivatives with electrochemical application potential were successfully synthesized and characterized. Electrochemistry and calculation of density functional theory (DFT) showed that 2,7-bis(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)benzo[lmn] [3,8]phenanthroline-1,3,6,8(2H,7H)-tetraone (NDI-1) was an ideal candidate for electrochemical probe construction.

ConspectusFor the past 11 years, a dedicated effort in our research group focused on fundamentally advancing the photophysical properties of cuprous -phenanthroline-based metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited states. We rationalized that, by gaining control over the numerous factors limiting the more widespread use of Cu MLCT photosensitizers, they would be readily adopted in numerous light-activated applications given the earth-abundance of copper and the extensive library of 1,10-phenanthrolines developed over the last century. Significant progress has been achieved by recognizing valuable structure-property concepts developed by other researchers in tandem with detailed ultrafast and conventional time-scale investigations, -inspired molecular designs to predict spectroscopic properties, and applying novel synthetic methodologies.

The acidic amphiphilic compound H[Co(HL1)(HL1)(phen)]·3HO (H(Co-L1), HL1 = 5-(3', 5'-dicarboxylphenyl)-pyridine-2-carboxylic, phen = phenanthroline) and the hydrophilic compound [Ni(HL2)(HO)]·HO (H(Ni-L2), HL2 = 5-(3',5'-dicarboxylphenyl)-pyridine-3-carboxylic) were synthesized via hydrothermal reactions at acidic conditions. The acidity of H(Co-L1) is stronger than of H(Ni-L2); while the hydrogen bond continuity in H(Co-L1) extended monodirectionally, which is smaller compared to the three-directional extension observed in H(Ni-L2). The proton conduction behaviors of these two compounds as fillers of Nafion composite membranes have been investigated.
