Transition metal Kinamycin model as a DNA photocleaver for hypoxic environments: bis(9-diazo-4,5-diazafluorene)copper(II) nitrate†
Abstract
Bis(9-diazo-4,5-diazafluorene)copper(II) nitrate is an effective DNA photocleaving agent under anaerobic conditions using visible light and represents a potential model for the action of Kinamycin antitumor antibiotics.
