Structures of cyclic 2‐(3‐oxo‐3‐phenylpropyl)‐substituted 1,3‐diketones 4a – c were determined by ¹⁷O‐NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallography. In CDCl₃ solution, compounds 4a – c form an eight‐membered‐ring with intramolecular H‐bonding between the enolic OH and the carbonyl O(11)‐atom of the phenylpropyl group, as demonstrated by increased shielding of specifically labeled 4a – c in the ¹⁷O‐NMR spectra (Δδ(¹⁷O(11))=36 ppm). In solid state, intermolecular H‐bonding was observed instead of intramolecular H‐bonding, as evidenced by the X‐ray crystal‐structure analysis of compound 4b . Crystals of compound 4b at 293 K are monoclinic with a=11.7927 (12) Å, b=13.6230 (14) Å, c=9.8900 (10) Å, β=107.192 (2)°, and the space group is P2₁/c with Z=4 (refinement to R=0.0557 on 2154 independent reflections).     

Antibacterial Activities and Nuclease Properties of Two New Ternary Copper(II) Complexes with 2‐(4′‐Thiazolyl)‐benzimidazole and 2,2′‐Bipyridine/1,10‐phenanthroline

Complex 2 , structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c in a unit cell of a=0.85257(12) nm, b=2.5358(4) nm, c=1.15151(13) nm, β=118.721(8)°, V=2.183.2(5) nm³, Z=4, D_c=1.624 g·cm⁻³, µ=1.367 mm⁻¹. The complexes, free ligands and chloride copper(II) salt were each tested for their ability to inhibit the growth of two gram‐positive (B. subtilis and S. aureus) and two gram‐negative (Salmonella and E. coli) bacteria. The complexes showed good antibacterial activities against the microorganisms. The interaction between the complexes and calf thymus DNA in aqueous solution was investigated adopting electronic absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, viscosity measurements and cyclic voltammetry. Results suggest that the two complexes can bind to DNA by intercalative mode. In addition, the result of agarose gel electrophoresis suggested that the complexes can cleave the plasmid DNA at physiological pH and room temperature. Mechanistic studies with different inhibiting reagents reveal that hydroxyl radicals, and a singlet oxygen‐like copper‐oxo species are all involved in the DNA scission process mediated by the complexes.

The crystal contains four crystllographically independent [Cu(L‐Met) (bipy) (H₂O)]⁺ complexes (Cu1—Cu4), having a distorted square‐pyramidal geometry with the same coordinated atoms around each copper center. The base plane is occupied by two nitrogen atoms of one bipy, the amino nitrogen atom and one carboxylate oxygen atom from each independent L‐Met moiety, and one water oxygen at an axial position. Cu1 and Cu3 are essentially enantiomers of Cu2 and Cu4. The four molecules are packed with each other by intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding and aromatic‐ring stacking interactions.
