title: First observation of luminescence from tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) triggered by anodic oxidation of oligodeoxyribonucleotide.
abstract: Anodic oxidation of oligodeoxyribonucleotide in an alkaline aqueous medium containing tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)3(2+)) was shown to cause luminescence around +1.3 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) with a maximal intensity at approximately 600 nm, possibly originating from Ru(bpy)3(2+) in the d-pi* triplet state. A pivotal initial stage in the light production path was postulated to be the anodic oxidation of 2-deoxyribose residue. This reaction seems to be available for the determination of sub-micromol dm(-3) levels of oligodeoxyribonucleotide.
