Combined Car−Parrinello and time-dependent DFT calculations performed on [Ru(phen)2dppz]2+ intercalated into an adenine−thymine tetramer reveal a remarkable influence of the base pairs in determining the electronic structure and the character of the excited states involved in the absorption and emission processes.
