The binding of TiCl2(dpme)2(1), (dpme = 6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine), Ti(ada)2(bzac)2(2), (ada = adamantylamine; bzac = benzoylacetone), and TiCl2(bzac)(bpme) (3), (bpme = 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyrdine) with calf thymus (ct) DNA has been studied by UV-visible spectroscopy, thermal denaturation, and circular dichroism spectroscopy. In UV-visible study complexes1,2, and3showed red, blue, and red shifts, respectively, upon the addition of ct-DNA along with a significant hyperchromism. The intrinsic binding constants (Kb) calculated from UV-visible absorption studies were 2.3 × 103 M−1, 3.3 × 103 M−1and, 7.1 × 103 M−1for complexes1,2, and3, respectively. The change in melting temperature (ΔTm) was calculated to be 2-3°C for each complex. Circular dichroism (CD) study showed blue shift for complex2and red shift for complexes1and3along with rise in molecular ellipticity upon the addition of complexes. Results suggest a binding mode of complex2different than1and3.
