Abstract
DNA is the carrier of genetic information and the material basis of gene expression. The interaction between metal complexes and DNA has attracted tremendous attention and become one of the most active research fields of bioinorganic chemistry. Ruthenium complexes, which possess excellent chemical stability and superior photochemical, photophysical and redox properties in comparison to other metal complexes, have also received intense interest as DNA cleavage agents. In this review, the recent representative advances on ruthenium complex-based DNA cleavers as well as the mechanisms of the DNA cleavage are highlighted.
