DNA Binding,Cleavage and Antibacterial Activity of Mononuclear Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) Complexes Derived from Novel Benzothiazole Schiff Bases

A series of novel bivalent metal complexes M(L₁)₂ and M(L₂)₂ where M = Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II) and L₁ = 2-((benzo [d] thiazol-6-ylimino)methyl)-4-bromophenol [BTEMBP], L₂ = 1-((benzo [d] thiazol-6-ylimino)methyl) naphthalen-2-ol [BTEMNAPP] were synthesized. All the compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, SEM, Mass, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, UV–Vis, IR, ESR, spectral data and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Based on the analytical and spectral data four-coordinated square planar geometry is assigned to all the complexes. DNA binding properties of these complexes have been investigated by electronic absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence and viscosity measurements. It is observed that these binary complexes strongly bind to calf thymus DNA by an intercalation mode. DNA cleavage efficacy of these complexes was tested in presence of H₂O₂ and UV light by gel electrophoresis and found that all the complexes showed better nuclease activity. Finally the compounds were screened for antibacterial activity against few pathogens and found that the complexes have potent biocidal activity than their free ligands.     

Localized Excitations of (2+1)-Dimensional Korteweg-de Vries System Derived from a Periodic Wave Solution

With the aid of an improved projective approach and a linear variable separation method,new types of variable separation solutions (including solitary wave solutions,periodic wave solutions,and rational function solutions)with arbitrary functions for (2 1)-dimensional Korteweg-de Vries system are derived.Usually,in terms of solitary wave solutions and rational function solutions,one can find some important localized excitations.However,based on the derived periodic wave solution in this paper,we find that some novel and significant localized coherent excitations such as dromions,peakons,stochastic fractal patterns,regular fractal patterns,chaotic line soliton patterns as well as chaotic patterns exist in the KdV system as considering appropriate boundary conditions and/or initial qualifications.     

Selective Recognition of Cobalt (II) Ion by a New Cryptand Compound with N2O2S2 Donor Atom Possessing 2-Hydroxy-1-Naphthylidene Schiff Base Moiety

A new cryptand compound carrying 2-hydroxy-1-naphthylidene Schiff base moiety (3) was designed and synthesized by reaction of the corresponding macrobicyclic amine compound (1) and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde (2). The influence of metal cations such as Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Fe²⁺,Co²⁺, Mn²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺, Al³⁺ and Pb²⁺ on the spectroscopic properties of the new fluoroionophore was investigated in acetonitrile-dichloromethane solution (9.5/0.5) by means of absorption and emission spectrometry. The blue shifts on the fluorescence spectrum were observed for all metal cations at 504nm. At the same time the fluorescence spectrum of the ligand showed quenching in the intensity of the signal at 504 nm for all metal cations except for Zn²⁺. Interaction of Co²⁺ with the ligand caused quenching of naphtyl fluorescence higher than 84%. The method showed good selectivity and sensitivity for Co²⁺ with respect to other metal cations with linear range and detection limit of 1.5 × 10⁻⁷ to 3.3 × 10⁻⁶M and 4.8 × 10⁻⁸M respectively.

Chlorine adsorption on copper: II. Photoemission from Cu(001)c(2 × 2)-C1 and Cu(111)(√3 × √3)R30°-Cl

We have studied high-resolution angle-resolved and photon-polarization dependent photoemission from chlorine adsorbed on Cu(OOl) and Cu(111). Chlorine forms a c(2 × 2) saturation overlayer on Cu(OO1) and adsorbs dissociatively as revealed by LEED and XPS. Several two-dimensional energy bands on Cu(001)c(2 × 2)-Cl could be iden along the $\text{}\text{?}$gG M? and $\text{}\text{?}$gG M? lines of the surface Brillouin zone, their respective mirror symmetry and their orbital character could be determined. An interpretation of these bands is given in terms of the interaction of the ordered overlayers with particular substrate bulk bands. Besides the appearance of adsorbate-induced two-dimensional bands drastic changes are resolved in the substrate d-band emission region. These can be explained almost exclusively by surface umklapp processes involving reciprocal lattice vectors of the ordered adsorbate mesh. Supplementary studies of the Cu(111) (√3 × √3)R30°-Cl system support our ideas. We discuss some important implications of our results for the interpretation of angle-resolved photoenussion spectra from ordered adsorbate layers.
