Supramolecular Complex Formation by β-Cyclodextrin and Ferrocenylnaphthalene Diimide-intercalated Double Stranded DNA and Improved Electrochemical Gene Detection

Ferrocenylnaphthalene diimide 1 can bind to double stranded DNA (dsDNA) by the threading intercalation mode and the resulting complex was stabilized further by β- cyclodextrin (CD) by forming a supramolecular complex. These complex formation processes were studied by spectroscopic, viscometric, a...
