title: A ternary supramolecular system containing a boronated DNA-metallointercalator, β-cyclodextrin and the hexanucleotide d(GTCGAC)2.
abstract: Solution NMR studies of the interaction between the hexanucleotide d(GTCGAC)(2), β-cyclodextrin and a boronated 2,2':6',2''-terpyridineplatinum(II) complex containing 1,12-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane(12) (1,12-closo-carborane) reveal the formation of a remarkable ternary supramolecular system in which the terpyridine ligand is intercalated between the C(3) and G(4) bases, whilst the closo-carborane moiety is encapsulated by the cyclic sugar.
