title: Double-strand DNA cleavage from photodecarboxylation of (micro-oxo)diiron(III) L-histidine complex in visible light.
abstract: The oxo-bridged diiron(III) complex [{Fe(L-his)(dpq)}(2)(micro-O)](2+) having L-histidine (L-his) and dipyrido[3,2-d:2',3'-f]quinoxaline (dpq) bound to Fe(III) exemplifies an iron-based model photonuclease that shows visible light-induced DNA double-strand cleavage in a photodecarboxylation pathway and models iron-bleomycin activity.
