The length and high flexibility of the linker in a heterodinuclear ruthenium–platinum complex (see X-ray crystal structure) enables the platinum unit to independently interact with DNA by π–π stacking or coordination, possibly after pre-association of the 2+ charged ruthenium unit. A prototype of this challenging class of potentially cytostatic compounds is presented.
