#chempaperaday Day 6/365: "Selective DNA Purine Base Photooxidation by Bis-terdentate Iridium(III) Polypyridyl and Cyclometalated Complexes"

My research project is to design and synthesize new Ir(III) metal complexes and to study their DNA binding abilities. The latest issue of Inorganic Chemistry has this article about Ir(III) complexes and the authors report "selective DNA purine bases oxidation." So, I found it really interesting and read it today.
