The interaction between the chromium（Ⅲ） complex with calf thymus DNA （Ct-DNA） has been investigated by absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and viscosity measurements. The results indicated that the complex was bonded to Ct-DNA through a non-classical intercalative mode.     

New Amphiphilic Polypyridyl Ruthenium（Ⅱ） Sensitizer and Its Application in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Amphiphilic polypyridyl mthenium（Ⅱ） complex cis-di（isothiocyanato）（4,4＇-di-tert-butyl-2,2＇-bipyridyl）（4,4＇- dicarboxy-2,2＇-bipyridyl）ruthenium（Ⅱ）（K005） has been synthesized and characterized by cyclic voltammetry, ^1H NMR, UV-Vis, and FT-IR spectroscopies. The sensitizer sensitizes TiO2 over a notably broad spectral range due to its intense metal-to-ligand charge-transfer （MLCT） bands at 537 and 418 nm. The photophysical and photochemical studies of K005 were contrasted with those of cis-Ru（dcbpy）2（NCS）2, known as the N3 dye, and the amphiphilic ruthenium（Ⅱ） dye Z907. A reversible couple at E1/2=0.725 V vs. saturated calomel electrode （SCE） with a separation of 0.08 V between the anodic and cathodic peaks, was observed due to the Ru^Ⅱ/Ⅲ couple by cyclic voltammetry. Furthermore, this amphiphilic ruthenium complex was successfully used as sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells with the efficiency of 3.72% at the 100 mW·cm^-2 irradiance of air mass 1.5 simulated sunlight without optimization of TiO2 films and the electrolyte.
