Abstract
Two acridine groups were successfully introduced into di-iron(III) complex. DNA cleavage experiments indicated that complex conjugating bisacridine groups can enhance 300-fold for the cleavage efficiency compared with complex lacking of acridine conjugation. Further ligation assay of DNA segments provided the evidence for hydrolytic mechanism of DNA cleavage.
