The 3D starshaped Ru–bpy–DNA complex pictured comprises a ruthenium( II ) tris(bipyridyl) center with six DNA 20‐mer sequences tethered through linkers at its 4‐ and 4′‐positions. The complexes 1 and 2 hybridize with six complementary 20‐mer strands to form duplex arms. Alternatively, the complementary DNA strands in 1 and 2 hybridize with each other to form larger nanoscale assemblies.
