X-ray crystal structures of three Λ-[Ru(L)<sub>2</sub> dppz]<sup>2+</sup> complexes (dppz=dipyridophenazine; L=1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy)) bound to d((5BrC)GGC/GCCG) showed the compounds intercalated at a 5'-CG-3' step. The compounds bind through canted intercalation, with the binding angle determined by the guanine NH<sub>2</sub> group, in contrast to symmetrical intercalation previously observed at 5'-TA-3' sites. This result suggests that canted intercalation is preferr ...[more]
