Design of nanohybrid systems possessing several ruthenium trisbipyridine (Ru(bpy)(3)(2+)) chromophores on the surface of gold nanoparticles, by adopting a place exchange reaction, was reported and their photophysical properties were tuned by varying the density of chromophores. The charge shift between the excited and ground-state Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) chromophores was reported for the first time, leading to the formation of Ru(bpy)(3)(+) and Ru(bpy)(3)(3+). Electron-transfer products were not observed on decreasing the concentration of Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) functionalized on Au nanoparticles or in a saturated solution of unbound chromophores. The close proximity of the chromophores on periphery of the gold core may lead to an electron transfer reaction and the products sustained for several nanoseconds before undergoing recombination, probably due to the stabilizing effect of the polar ethylene glycol moieties embedded between the chromophore groups.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the leading causes of human mortality worldwide. In the early stages of AMI, the patient's electrocardiogram (ECG) may not change, so the fast, sensitive, and accurate detection of the specific biomarker of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is of great importance in the early diagnosis of AMI. In this work, for the first time, electrostatic nanoaggregates of negatively charged Au nanoparticles and positively charged trisbipyridine ruthenium(II) ions (i.

A reusable fluorescent nanoprobe was developed using DNA-functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF) for ratiometric detection of Hg. We utilized a zirconium-based MOF (UiO-66) to encapsulate tris(bipyridine) ruthenium(II) chloride (Ru(bpy)), resulting in Ru(bpy)@UiO-66 (RU) with red fluorescence. The unsaturated metal sites in UiO-66 facilitate the attachment of thymine-rich single-strand DNA (T-ssDNA) through Zr-O-P bond, producing T-ssDNA-functionalized RU complex (RUT).

Article Synopsis
- - Ru(II) complexes are being researched as effective photosensitizers due to their enhanced photodynamic properties, particularly with the new tris-bipyridine based complexes (6a-e) developed to improve their effectiveness in cancer treatment.
- - The complex 6d showed strong phototoxic effects on three different cancer cell types, with significantly lower IC values under light exposure compared to dark conditions, indicating its potential for photodynamic therapy.
- - In addition to its high photodynamic activity, 6d was found to not only induce oxidative stress and damage in cancer cells but also promote specific types of cell death while inhibiting tumor growth in A549 cancer models by 95.4%.
