Ru(II)-carbohydrate dendrimers as photoinduced electron transfer lectin biosensors.
Three tris(bipyridine)ruthenium dendrimers bearing either six or eighteen mannose units have been synthesized; encapsulation of the Ru(bipy)3 core alters the rate of energy and electron transfer as well as the lectin biosensing abilities.
