Spectral, photophysical, photochemical and bovine serum albumin binding studies on some gallium(III) derivatives - {1,(4)-(tetrapyridyloxyphthalocyaninato)gallium(III), (α GaPc ); 2,(3)-(tetrapyridyloxyphthalocyaninato)gallium(III), (β GaPc ); and their quaternized derivatives: Q α GaPc and Q β GaPc )} are hereby presented. β-Substituted complexes are more fluorescent, but show lower tendencies to undergo intersystem crossing than the α-substituted, as judged by their fluorescence and triplet quantum yield values. The quaternized derivatives ( QGaPc ) are water-soluble and non-aggregated, which makes them potential photosensitizers of choice for photodynamic therapy applications; these amphiphilic compounds also bind strongly to bovine serum albumin in 1:1 stoichiometries, and with binding constants ( Kb) in the order of 106M−1.

Bovine serum albumin complexes with water-soluble cationic porphyrins, Cu - and Co-meso-tetra(4- N -hydroxyethylpyridyl)porphyrins ( CuT4OEPyP , CoT4OEPyP ), and their 3- N -analogs, meso-tetra(3- N -hydroxyethylpyridyl)porphyrins ( CuT3OEPyP , CoT3OEPyP ), have been investigated. The porphyrin-bovine serum albumin binding was monitored by the absorption in the visible region at 400-460 nm. The stoichiometry of binding and the binding constants of the porphyrins to bovine serum albumin were determined using binding isotherms and Scatchard plots. The K b values obtained for these porphyrin- bovine serum albumin complexes are 1.7 × 105 M −1, 3.2 × 105 M −1, 1.4 × 105 M −1 and 3 × 105 M −1 respectively. Binding constants are sensitive to pH and ionic strength of the solution.

A new Cd(II) complex, [Cd(H4pbidc)(H2O)] n (1), incorporating 2,2′-(propane-1,3-diyl)bis(1H- imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid) (H6pbidc) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. In complex 1, each Cd(II) ion is hepta-coordinated, showing a significantly distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal coordination environment. Adjacent Cd(II) ions are alternately joined through two carboxylate oxygen atoms and two bridging water molecules resulting in a one-dimensional chain structure. In the solid state, adjacent chains are further linked by hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture. Meanwhile, the interactions of complex 1 with bovine serum albumin were analysed by fluorescence measurements under physiological conditions. The results indicated that the fluorescence intensity of bovine serum albumin was decreased considerably upon the addition of complex 1 through a static quenching mechanism with formation of one binding site. The negative values of the thermodynamic parameters including enthalpy change (Δ H), entropy change (Δ S) and Gibbs free energy change (Δ G) showed that hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces were the main interactions in the binding of complex 1 to bovine serum albumin, and the binding process is spontaneous in thermodynamics.
