Abstract
⺠Non-covalent DNA and protein binding Ru(II) complexes are reported. ⺠[Ru(3,4,7,8-tmp)2(dpq)]2+(4) binds strongly to both DNA and proteins. ⺠Complex 4 acts as a fluorescent probe for nuclear components and proteins. ⺠Complex 4 binds efficiently to proteins in the tail of the sperm. ⺠Complex 4 has the potential to act as a non-hormonal contraceptive.
