Study of an unusual charge-transfer inclusion complex with NIR absorption, and its application for DNA photocleavage

摘要

A stable 1:1:1 ternary inclusion donor-acceptor dyad complex PTZ-MV~(2+)-CB[8] with NIR absorption (500-1100 nm, λ_(max) = 756 nm) can easily be obtained by use of a supramolecular method. It exhibits photocleavage ability on supercoiled plasmid DNA (pBR322), suggesting a potential application in photodynamic therapy.
