A novel complex of nickel(II) picrate (pic) with the V-shaped ligand 2, 6-bis(2-benzimidazolyl) pyridine (bbp) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, electrical conductivity, and IR and UV/Vis spectral measurements. The crystal structure of the nickel(II) complex ([Ni(bbp)2](pic)2·2DMF) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Ni(II) cation is bonded to two bbp ligands through six nitrogen atoms, resulting in a distorted octahedral geometry. The DNA-binding properties of the nickel(II) complex were investigated by electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra and by viscosity measurements. The experimental results suggest that the nickel(II) complex binds to DNA in an intercalation mode.

A new complex of Cd(II) picrate (pic) based on the ligand 2,6-bis(N-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)- pyridine (mbbp) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, electrical conductivity, 1H NMR, IR and UV/Vis spectral measurements. The crystal structure of the Cd(II) complex, [Cd(mbbp)2](pic)2, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Cd(II) cation is bonded to two mbbp ligands through six nitrogen atoms, resulting in a distorted octahedral geometry. Interaction of the complex with DNA was investigated by spectrophotometric methods and viscosity measurements. The experimental results suggest that the Cd(II) complex binds to DNA in an intercalation mode.

A tripod ligand tris(N-methylbenzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amine (Mentb) and its nickel(II) picrate (pic) complex, with composition [Ni(Mentb)(DMF)(H2O)](pic)2, have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, molar conductivities, IR spectra, and UV/Vis measurements. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that the Ni atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry. In addition, the DNA-binding properties of the ligand Mentb and its Ni(II) complex have been investigated by electronic absorption, fluorescence and viscosity measurements. The experimental results suggest that the ligand and its Ni(II) complex bind to DNA via an intercalation binding mode, and their binding affinity to DNA follows the order of complex>ligand.

AbstractA discrete heterotrinuclear complex [{Ni2LDy(OAc)3(CH3OH)}2] · 2CH3OH · 3CH2Cl2, with a naphthalenediol-based acyclic bis(salamo) ligand H4L, has been synthesized and structurally characterized using elemental analyses, IR, UV/Vis and fluorescence spectra and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure shows two crystallographically independent but chemically identical molecules (molecules I and II). All the Ni(II) atoms are hexa-coordinated with slightly distorted octahedral geometries. The central Dy atoms are nona-coordinated with slightly distorted tricapped trigonal prism geometries. An infinite 3D supramolecular structure is formed via intermolecular hydrogen bonding and C–H…π interactions.

AbstractTwo complexes, {Mn(hfac)2(BIPMO)}n (1), {Cu(hfac)2(BIPMO)}n (2) [hfac=1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-pentane-2,4-dionato(–), BIPMO=bis(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)methanone], with the V-shaped ligands were synthesized and characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analyses, along with single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The X-ray diffraction studies have shown that the metal ions in 1 and 2 are both six-coordinated to two nitrogen atoms of two BIPMO ligands and four oxygen atoms of two hfac ligands to form a distorted octahedral geometry. Each BIPMO ligand acts as a bridging ligand to link two adjacent metal(II) atoms to form a helical chain in the crystal structure.

Dna Binding Properties

It was demonstrated that styrylquinolizinium derivatives may be applied as photoswitchable DNA ligands. At lower ligand:DNA ratios (≤1.5), these compounds bind to duplex DNA by intercalation, with binding constants ranging from K b = 4.1 × 104 M to 2.6 × 105 M (four examples), as shown by photometric and fluorimetric titrations as well as by CD and LD spectroscopic analyses. Upon irradiation at 450 nm, the methoxy-substituted styrylquinolizinium derivatives form the corresponding syn head-to-tail cyclobutanes in a selective [2 + 2] photocycloaddition, as revealed by X-ray diffraction analysis of the reaction products. These photodimers bind to DNA only weakly by outside-edge association, but they release the intercalating monomers upon irradiation at 315 nm in the presence of DNA. As a result, it is possible to switch between these two ligands and likewise between two different binding modes by irradiation with different excitation wavelengths.

Hydroxyl Radical Scavenge

A ternary cationic Mn(II) complex with the tripodal ligand tris(2-(N-methyl) benzimidazylmethyl)amine (Mentb), salicylate and DMF as ligands and nitrate as counterion, [Mn(Mentb)(salicylate)DMF](NO3), was synthesized and characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. The crystal structure of the Mn(II) complex has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and revealed that the central Mn(II) atom is seven-coordinated. The DNA-binding properties of the Mn(II) complex were investigated by spectrophotometric methods and viscosity measurements, and the results suggest that the Mn(II) complex binds to DNA via an intercalation binding mode. Additionally, the complex exhibited potential hydroxyl radical scavenge properties in in vitro studies
