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

Abstract

A stable 1 : 1 : 1 ternary inclusion donor–acceptor dyad complex PTZ–MV2+CB[8] with NIR absorption (500–1100 nm, λmax = 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.
