Complexes of the form, [(TL)<sub>2</sub>Ru(BL)Ru(Cl)(tpm)]<sup>3+</sup>, where TL is a bidentate terminal ligand (i.e. 2,2’-bipyridine (bpy)), tpm is the facial tridentate terminal ligand tris(1-pyrazolyl)methane and BL is a bridging ligand (i.e. 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (dpp) or 2,2’bipyrimidine (bpm)), have been synthesized and characterized with respect to their absorbance and electrochemical properties. These complexes are also being screened for their ability to bind and photocleave DNA.
