The synthesis of two new tetracationic mononuclear RuII complexes containing the tetrapyridyl [3,2-a:2',3'-c:3'',2''-h:2''',3'''-j] phenazine ligand in which the uncoordinated site has been converted into a dicationic ethylene-bipyridyldiylium unit is reported. The structure of the complexes is fully assigned through detailed NMR studies and, in one case, through an X-ray crystallography study. Voltammetry, optical spectroscopy and computational studies confirm that the bipyridyldiylium moiety has a low-lying reduction that quenches the 3MLCT-based emission usually observed in such systems. The new complexes interact with DNA in a quite different manner to their dicationic analogues: they both bind to duplex DNA with micromolar affinity through groove binding. These observations are rationalized through a consideration of their structural and electronic properties.
