Three Ru(Ⅱ) complexes [Ru(bpy)2(1-IQTNH)](ClO4)2 (1), [Ru(bpy)2(2-QTNH)](ClO4)2 (2) and [Ru(bpy)2(3-IQTNH)](ClO4)2 (3) (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, 1-IQTNH = 6-(isoquinolin-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine, 2-QTNH = 6-(quinolin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine, 3-IQTNH = 6-(isoquinolin-3-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. The electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of the complexes differ from those of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ owing to the structural differences between the ligands and their complexes.

DNA photocleavage properties of halogenated mono-hydroxyl corrole 1-5 were investigated.It was found that these corroles were able to photocleavage supercoiled pBR 322 DNA（SC） into nicked-circular DNA（NC）.The activity of these corroles follows an order of 4>3>2≈1>5.The photosensitized singlet oxygen（Φ;） quantum yield by these corroles also follows that same order,showing the photocleavage activity is related to the heavy atom effect of halogen atoms on corroles.
The DNA nuclease-like activity of a water soluble manganese corrole 5, 10, 15-tris（N-methyl-4-pyridyl）- corrolatomanga- nese（III） （MnⅢTMPyC） has been investigated. MnⅢMPyC may bind strongly to DNA via outside groove binding mode as indicated by absorption spectra, viscosity measurements and CD spectra. MnInTMPyC exhibited excellent catalytic activity in the DNA oxidative cleavage in the presence of hydroperoxide.
