钌(Ⅱ)配合物与DNA相互作用的瞬态发光特性

以三种新合成的钌配合物[Ru(bpy)₂(7-CH₃-dppz)]²⁺、[Ru(bpy)₂(7-F-dppz)]²⁺、[Ru(phen)₂(7-F-dppz)]²⁺为研究对象,采用时间分辨的荧光光谱技术分别测量了这三种钌配合物与小牛胸腺DNA相互作用时的瞬态荧光动力学过程。结果表明:[Ru(bpy)₂(7-CH₃-dppz)]²⁺的发光寿命最长(约382 ns),而[Ru(bpy)₂(7-F-dppz)]²⁺的发光寿命最短(约65 ns)。分析表明:钌配合物的发光来源于配合物分子中的电荷转移态到基态的辐射跃迁。通过钌配合物与DNA的相互作用,使得配合物激发态分子的无辐射弛豫几率减小,从而导致发光寿命的增加。配合物的分子与DNA相互作用越强,激发态分子的无辐射弛豫几率越小,发光寿命也越长,最终导致高的发光效率。配合物的分子结构对配合物的分子与DNA的相互作用具有重要的影响。     

卟啉和钌二元体的超快能量转移

采用超快时间分辨的荧光光谱技术测量了一种由柔性链连接的卟啉-钌二元体分子内的能量转移动力学过程.通过在钌的吸收峰(～453nm)对二元体进行光激发,实验上观测到了从钌基团到卟啉基团的超快能量转移过程(～400ps).而在卟啉的吸收峰(～400nm)对二元体进行光激发,实验上没有观测到从卟啉基团到钌基团的能量转移.采用Frster理论对二元体系能量转移过程的产生机理进行了分析,结果表明,钌和卟啉之间的能量转移来源于基于光谱重叠的偶极-偶极相互作用. 关键词： 卟啉-钌二元体 能量转移 超快激光光谱技术     

甲基对钌配合物与DNA相互作用的瞬态发光特性的影响

采用时间分辩的发光光谱技术,测量了新合成的钌配合物［Ru(phen)2(7 CH3 dppz)］2+与小牛胸腺DNA相互作用的瞬态发光动力学过程,并与以往研究的配合物［Ru(phen)2(dppz)］2+和［Ru(phen)2(dppx)］2+的瞬态发光特性进行对比,更全面地研究了甲基对钌配合物与DNA相互作用的瞬态发光特性的影响.［Ru(phen)2(7 CH3 dppz)］2+的结构介于［Ru(phen)2(dppz)］2+和［Ru(phen)2(dppx)］2+之间,但发光寿命却比这两种配合物短,表明了甲基的疏水性、空间位阻及推电子能力对配合物的发光寿命均有影响.该结论为进一步研究配合物分子与DNA的相互作用的机理提供了一定的依据.     

一种钌配合物与DNA相互作用发光增强的超快过程研究

采用时间分辩激光光谱技术,研究了一种钌配合物[Ru(dmb)2(mitatp)]2 发光增强的超快过程。采用比较方法测量了[Ru(dmb)2(mitatp)]2 和[Ru(dmb)2(mitatp)]2 /DNA复合物的瞬态发光弛豫过程。[Ru(dmb)2(mitatp)]2 和[Ru(dmb)2(mitatp)]2 /DNA复合物的发光均来源于[Ru(dmb)2(mitatp)]2 中的电荷转移单态和三重态到基态的辐射跃迁。通过钌配合物与DNA的相互作用,[Ru(dmb)2(mitatp)]2 的荧光寿命由339 ns延长至589 ns;磷光寿命由16μs延长至21μs,总的发光强度增强了约1个数量级。分析表明,[Ru(dmb)2(mitatp)]2 发光寿命和发光强度的增加可能来源于[Ru(dmb)2(mitatp)]2 与DNA之间的电荷转移态的形成,它导致[Ru(dmb)2(mitatp)]2 的最低激发单态和三重态到基态的无辐射概率的减小,增强了[Ru(dmb)2(mitatp)]2 发光效率。     

Synthesis,Characterization, DNA Binding Properties,Fluorescence Studies and Toxic Activity of Cobalt(III) and Ruthenium(II) Polypyridyl Complexes

The new ligand 4-(isopropylbenzaldehyde)imidazo[4,5-f ][1,10]phenanthroline (ippip) and its complexes [Ru(phen)₂(ippip)]²⁺(1),[Co(phen)₂(ippip)]³⁺(2),[Ru(bpy)₂(ippip)]²⁺(3),[Co(bpy)₂(ippip)]³⁺(4)(bpy=2,2-bipyridine) and (phen=1,10-phenanthroline) were synthesized and characterized by ES⁺-MS, ¹H and ¹³C NMR. The DNA binding properties of the four complexes were investigated by different spectrophotometric methods and viscosity measurements. The results suggest that complexes bind to calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) through intercalation. When irradiated at 365 nm, the complexes promote the photocleavage of pBR322 DNA, and complex 1 cleaves DNA more effectively than 2, 3, 4 complexes under comparable experimental conditions. Furthermore, photocleavage studies reveal that singlet oxygen (¹O₂) plays a significant role in the photocleavage.     

Study of transient luminescence of three kinds of Ru complexes bound to DNA

The transient luminescence of three kinds of ruthenium complexes [Ru(bpy)₂(7-CH₃-dppz)]²⁺, [Ru(bpy)₂(7-F-dppz)]²⁺ and [Ru(phen)₂(7-F-dppz)]²⁺ bound to calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) has been studied by using the time-resolved spectroscopy. The results show that the luminescence is due to the radiative decay from the charge-transfer states to the ground state. By the interaction with DNA, the radiativeless rate of the photoexcited Ru complex molecules decreases, which results in the increase of luminescence lifetime and efficiency. The structure of the Ru complex has an important impact on the interaction with DNA. The [Ru(bpy)₂(7-CH₃-dppz)]²⁺ shows the longest luminescence lifetime (about 382 ns), while the [Ru(bpy)₂(7-F-dppz)]²⁺ shows the shortest lifetime (about 65 ns). The possible origin of the luminescence dynamics is discussed.

Three Ruthenium(II) polypyridine complexes, [Ru(phen)₂(mipc)]²⁺(1), [Ru(bpy)₂(mipc)]²⁺ (2) and [Ru(dmb)₂(mipc)]²⁺(3) [mipc?=?2-(6-methyl-3-(1H-imidazo[4, 5-f][1,10]-phenanthroline-2-yl)-4H-chromene-4-one, phen?=?1,10-phenanthroline,bpy?=?2, 2′bipyridine,dmb?=?4, 4′-dimethyl-2, 2′-bipyridine] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–Vis, ¹H& ¹³C NMR and mass spectra. The DNA-binding properties of the Ruthenium(II) complexes were investigated by spectrophotometric methods, viscosity measurements and light switch studies. These three complexes have been focused on photo activated cleavage studies with pBR-322 and antimicrobial studies. Experimental results indicate that the three complexes intercalate into DNA base pairs and follows the order of 1?>?2?>?3 respectively. Molecular docking studies also support the DNA interactions with complexes through hydrogen bonding and vander Waal’s interactions. Cytotoxicity studies with Hela cell lines has been revealing about anti tumor activity of these complexes.     

The key Cl− ligand for metal‐to‐ligand charge transfer in mononuclear terpyridine ruthenium(II) and binuclear ruthenium(II) tetrapyridylpyrazine complexes

Electronic structures of binuclear ruthenium complexes [Ru₂(terpy)₂(tppz)]⁴⁺ ( 1A ) and [Ru₂Cl₂(L)₂(tppz)]²⁺ {L = bpy ( 2A ), phen ( 3A ), and dpphen ( 4A )} were studied by density functional theory calculations. Abbreviations of the ligands (Ls) are bpy = 2,2′‐bipyridine, phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline, dpphen = 4,7‐diphenyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline, terpy = 2,2′:6′,2″‐terpyridine, and tppz = tetrakis(2‐pyridyl)pyrazine. Their mononuclear reference complexes [Ru(terpy)₂]²⁺ ( 1B ) and [RuClL(terpy)]⁺ {L = bpy ( 2B ), phen ( 3B ), and dpphen ( 4B )} were also examined. Geometries of these mononuclear and binuclear Ru(II) complexes were fully optimized. Their geometric parameters are in good agreement with the experimental data. The binuclear complexes were characterized by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, UV–Vis spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammograms. Hexafluorophosphate salts of binuclear ruthenium complexes of 3A and 4A were newly prepared. The crystal structure of binuclear complex 1A (PF₆)₄ was also determined. Orbital interactions were analyzed to characterize the metal‐to‐ligand charge‐transfer (MLCT) states in these complexes. The Cl^? ligand works to raise the orbital energy of the metal lone pair, which leads to the low MLCT state. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The novel ligand (dmbip) 2-(4-N, N-dimethylbenzenamine)1H-imidazo[4, 5-f][1, 10]phenanthroline and its complexes [Ru(phen)₂dmbip]²⁺ (1), [Ru(bpy)₂dmbip]²⁺ (2), [Co(phen)₂dmbip]³⁺ (3) and [Co(bpy)₂dmbip]³⁺ (4) [where phen?=?1, 10-phenanthroline, bpy?=?2, 2^′-bipyridine], have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and Mass spectra. The DNA binding properties of the complexes were investigated by absorption, emission, quenching studies, light switch “on and off”, salt dependent, sensor (cation and anion) studies, viscosity measurements, cyclic voltammetry, molecular modeling and docking studies. The four complexes were screened for Photo cleavage of pBR322 DNA, antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity. The experimental results indicate that the four complexes can intercalate into DNA base pairs. The DNA-binding affinities of these complexes follow the order [Ru(phen)₂dmbip]²⁺ > [Co(phen)₂dmbip]³⁺ > [Ru(bpy)₂dmbip]²⁺ > [Co(bpy)₂dmbip]³⁺.     

Mononuclear Co(III) and Ni(II) Complexes with Polypyridyl Ligands, [Co(phen)2(taptp)]3+ and [Ni(phen)2(taptp)]2+: Synthesis, Photocleavage and DNA-binding

Two novel, mixed ligand complexes of cobalt(III) and nickel(II), [Co(phen)₂(taptp)]³⁺ (1) and [Ni(phen)₂(taptp)]²⁺ (2) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and taptp = 4,5,9,18-tetraazaphenanthreno [9,10-b]triphenylene), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, UV-visible and NMR spectroscopies. The binding interactions of the two complexes with DNA have been investigated using absorption and emission spectroscopy methods and electrophoresis measurement mode. The intrinsic binding constants for these complexes to DNA are in the order of 10⁵. In Tris buffer, the Co(III) complex shows a moderate luminescence which was enhanced after binding to DNA. However for complex Ni(II), no emission was observed in Tris buffer. The [Co(phen)₂(taptp)]³⁺ and [Ni(phen)₂(taptp)]²⁺ can cause the photocleavage of DNA supercoiled pBR322 upon irradiation by 360 nm light. Based on the data, an intercalative mode of DNA binding is suggested for the two complexes.     

带-NH2的嘧啶环对钌配合物与DNA相互作用的瞬态发光特性的影响

采用时间分辨的发光光谱技术,分别测量了两种新合成的钌配合物[Ru(bpy)2 (dpbpd(NH2)2)]2 和[Ru(phen)2(dpbpd(NH2)2)]2 与小牛胸腺脱氧核糖核酸(ctDNA)相互作用时的瞬态发光动力学过程,并与以往对[Ru(phen)2dppz]2 等的研究结果进行对比,从而研究带-NH2的嘧啶环对配合物与DNA作用动力学过程的影响.结果表明:这两种含有带-NH2的嘧啶环的钌配合物与DNA相互作用时的发光按双指数规律衰减,发光寿命为几十纳秒,比dppz类钌配合物与DNA作用时的发光衰变寿命(几百纳秒)小一个数量级.归因于嘧啶环上的N和-NH2可能与水分子、DNA的碱基对或磷酸骨架形成氢键,从而加快激发态的无辐射弛豫,削弱发射光强,缩短发光寿命.该结论为进一步研究配合物分子与DNA的相互作用的机理提供了一定的依据.     

[M(SS)(NN)](M=Zn2+,Cd2+)配合物分子内跃迁与结构的关系

报道了配合物[M(SS)(NN)](M=Zn2 ,Cd2 )(SS=mnt2-,1,2-二氰基乙烯-1,2-二硫醇离子,NN=5-NO2-phen,5-硝基-1,10-邻菲咯啉)的合成,探讨了Zn(SS)(NN)和Cd(SS)(NN)在二甲基亚砜(DM-SO)、二甲基甲酰胺(DMF)、丙酮(acetone)、吡啶(Py)等溶剂中的电子吸收光谱。研究发现配合物的紫外区的吸收带270～280nm,320～350nm,350～390nm本质上属于配体mnt2-,5-NO2-phen内部的πb→π*跃迁,可见光区400～500nm本质上属于配体mnt2-到配体5-NO2-phen的荷移跃迁(LL′CT)。确认了标题配合物的荷移跃迁光谱在相关分子轨道能级图中的对应关系。标题配合物的LL′CT吸收带与组成相似配合物M(SS)(NN)(M=Co2 ,Fe2 ,Ni2 ,Cu2 )的对应吸收带相比较弱一些,这是由于[M(SS)(NN)](M=Zn2 ,Cd2 )的LL′CT谱带(7b2→7b1)是部分解除轨道禁阻的跃迁。     

DNA介导复合膜中[Ru(bpy)3]2+与Cu(Ⅱ)间光诱导电子转移

These complexes have been shown to act as promising calf thymus DNA intercalators and a new class of DNA light switches, as evidenced by UV-visible and luminescence titrations with Co²⁺ and EDTA, steady-state emission quenching by [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ and KI, DNA competitive binding with ethidium bromide, viscosity measurements, and DNA melting experiments. The results suggest that 1, 2, and 3 complexes bind to CT-DNA through intercalation and follows the order 1 > 2 > 3. Under irradiation at 365 nm, the three complexes have also been found to promote the photocleavage of plasmid pBR322 DNA.

Dynamics of tRNAtyr Probed with Long-Lifetime Metal-Ligand Complexes

The metal-ligand complexes, [Ru(bpy)₂(dppz)]²⁺ (bpy = 2,2??-bipyridine, dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2??,3??-c]phenazine) (RuBD) and [Ru(phen)₂(dppz)]²⁺ (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) (RuPD), display favorable photophysical properties including long lifetime, polarized emission, and very little background fluorescence. To check if RuBD and RuPD reflect the overall rotational mobility of small nucleic acid, we measured the intensity and anisotropy decays of RuBD and RuPD when intercalated into tRNA^tyr using pBC SK(+) phagemid as a control. We used frequency-domain fluorometry with a blue light-emitting diode (LED) as the modulated light source. We observed shorter lifetimes for tRNA^tyr than those for the pBC SK(+) phagemid for both probes, however, RuPD showed much larger decrease in the mean lifetime values (64%). The slow rotational correlation time of RuBD (31.3 ns) and the fast rotational correlation time of RuPD (26.0 ns) reflected the overall rotational mobility of tRNA^tyr. In addition, the steady-state anisotropy and time-resolved anisotropy decay data showed a clear difference between tRNA^tyr and pBC SK(+) phagemid. This suggests the possibility of a homogeneous assay for identifying target nucleic acids and/or nucleic acid binding proteins.     

Design and Synthesis of a Ruthenium(II) Complex-Based Luminescent Probe for Highly Selective and Sensitive Luminescence Detection of Nitric Oxide

Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the most important intercellular signaling molecules, and plays important roles in various biological systems. In this work, a unique Ru^II complex, tris[(5-(4-methylamino-3-aminobenzylamino)-1,10-phenanthroline)] ruthenium(II) hexafluorophosphate [Ru(MAA-phen)₃][PF₆]₂, has been designed and synthesized as a luminescent probe for the detection of NO in aqueous media. The complex itself is almost non-luminescent, but can specifically react with NO under the aerobic conditions to afford its highly luminescent triazole derivative in aqueous media, [Ru(MTA-phen)₃]²⁺ (MTA-phen: methyl-trazolebenzylamino-1,10-phenanthroline), accompanied by a 302-fold increase in luminescence intensity at 598 nm with a 130 nm Stokes shift. The luminescence response of [Ru(MAA-phen)₃]²⁺ to NO is rapid, highly specific without interferences of other reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, and highly stable against the pH changes in the range of pH 4.5–9.5. These features enable [Ru(MAA-phen)₃]²⁺ to be used as a probe for the highly selective and sensitive luminescence detection of NO in weakly acidic, neutral, and weakly basic media.     

Direct observation of radical intermediates during electron transfer between DNA and a ternary copper complex

The photoinduced electron transfer (PET) reaction within a ternary copper complex [Cu(phen)(Htrp)]⁺ (Htrp: l-tryptophanato; phen: 1,10-phenanthroline) (1) and in presence of DNA has been studied in homogeneous buffer medium and in reverse micelles. An intramolecular electron transfer occurs within the photoexcited complex (1) from tryptophan to phen. The copper complex can displace ethidium bromide from DNA backbone and on photoexcitation can oxidize DNA in a deoxygenated environment due to intermolecular electron transfer, although the intramolecular electron transfer is thermodynamically favorable. A prominent magnetic field effect (MFE) has been found even in homogeneous aqueous medium for the triplet born radicals both in case of intra and intermolecular electron transfer reactions. In case of intramolecular electron transfer the observation of MFE is similar to that of linked donor-acceptor system. However the observation of MFE for the intermolecular electron transfer between non-covalently bound complex-DNA systems is rather rare. Some non-covalent weak interaction, e.g. hydrophobic interaction between the phen ligand and DNA base pairs and electrostatic force of attraction between [Cu(phen)(Htrp)]⁺ complex and DNA may lead to partial intercalation of the copper complex within DNA that is responsible for such a rare observation.
