Abstract Ruthenium(II) (Ru(II)) complexes are the focus of numerous research works with various applications mainly due to their attractive photophysical and photochemical properties. In biological areas, in particular, they developed as efficient photoprobes or photosensors molecules.

Self-destruction: Attachment of a photoreactive RuII complex to guanine-containing oligonucleotide has led an innovative biomolecular tool for gene silencing studies. This conjugate can be selectively photo-cross-linked with its complementary strand but undergoes self-inhibition (or "seppuku") process in the presence noncomplementary target (see picture), which is attractive strategy avoid undesired secondary photoeffects. The design specific DNA or RNA damaging agents may achieved by...
