“…2 Besides this, they are potential building blocks for the synthesis of anion receptors, 3 cavitands, 4 dehydroannulenes, 5 organic semiconductors, 6 and dyes. 7 Molecules like dipyrido [3,2-a:2',3'-c] phenazine (dppz), 8 dipyrido [3,2-f:2',3'-h]quinoxaline (dpq) 9 and tetrapyrido [3,2-a:2',3'-c:3",2"-h:2"',3"'-j]phenazine (tpphz) 10 derivatives exhibit interesting properties, such as bidentate coordination ability, rigidity, π-accepting character and planar highly conjugated aromatic structure (figure 1). All these interesting properties and nitrogen sites enable them to act as therapeutic agents that are capable of binding and cleaving DNA under the physiological condition.…”
