Abstract

[Ru(II)(bpy)2(dppn)]2+ (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, dppn = 4,5,9,16-tetraazadibenzo[a,c]naphthacene) was found to be able to photoinactivate Gram-negative Escherichia coli efficiently, showing the potential of transition-metal complexes as photosensitizers in the field of photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT).
