Abstract: | Two new isomorphous tetranuclear complexes Cu4L2(4,4′-bipy)2]·(ClO4)4·2CH3CN·2H2O (1) and Zn4L2(4,4′-bipy)2]·(ClO4)3·CH3O·4H2O (2) have been obtained and fully characterized (where bipy = bipyridine, H2L = macrocycle is the 2+2] condensation product of 2,6-diformyl-4-fluoro-phenol and 1,4-diaminobutane). They exhibit wheel-like configuration in which two 4,4′-bipy molecules connect two dinuclear M2L]2+ units. The interactions of the complexes with calf thymus DNA were studied by UV-Vis and CD spectroscopic techniques. The binding constants of 1 and 2 are 2.27 × 106 and 3.89 × 105 M−1, respectively. The magnetic measurement of 1 reveals that there are strong antiferromagnetic coupling (J = -272.6 cm−1) between two Cu(II) ions in the macrocyclic unit and ferromagnetic interaction (j′ = 41.7) between the Cu(II) ions in two adjacent macrocyclic units. Furthermore, the cyclic voltammogram of 1 shows that it undergoes two quasi-reversible processes with the half wave potentials -0.232 and -0.606 V, respectively. |
