The results suggested that all the examined complexes bind with CT-DNA intercalatively. Methyl groups substituted at the 4,4-positions of bpy has no obvious effect on its DNA binding, whereas substituents at the 2- and 9-positions of phen have an impressive effect on its DNA-binding, as revealed by the decreased binding affinity.

Preparations and properties of vanadium(III) complexes of bidentate and terdentate nitrogen-donor ligands

Summary Vanadium(III) chloride reacts with 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2-bipyridyl, and with substituted derivatives of each ligand (B), in ethanol or in acetonitrile as solvent (L), to yield two different series of complexes. These are (a) the neutral species VCl₃BL, where B = 1,10-phenanthroline, 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline, 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 2,2-bipyridyl, 4,4-dimethyl-2,2-bipyridyl, L = ethanol. The complexes in which B = 1,10-phenanthroline or 2,2-bipyridyl were also obtained with L = acetonitrile, (b) [VCl₂B₂]⁺[VCl₄B]^– where B is the same series of ligands listed above. Vanadium(III) chloride yields VCl₃ (terpy) with 2,2,2 -terpyridyl. All the complexes have been characterised by elemental analyses, conductance measurements, electronic- and i.r. spectral measurements, and by their temperature-range (297–77 K) magnetic moments; ring substituents have little influence on any chemical or physical properties of these complexes.     

Mixed-ligand copper(II) complexes with positive redox potentials

Summary Mixed-ligand complexes formed by reaction of Cu(ClO₄)₂ with 3-(2-pyridyl)-5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine (dppt) as primary ligand and 2,2-bipyridine (bipy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmp), N,N-bis(pyrid-2-ylmethyl)amine (dipica), N,N-bis(benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amine (bba), 1,3-bis(2-benzimidazolyl)-2-thiapropane (bbms) and 1,5-bis(benzimidazolyl)-3-thiapentane (bbes) as the secondary ligands have been isolated. They are of the type [Cu(dppt)L](ClO₄)₂·nH₂O, where n = 0 or 2. All complexes exhibit only one ligand field band and their cryogenic solution e.p.r. spectra are axial, with v_max and g values diagnostic of a square-based geometry. The spectral and redox data are consistent with facial coordination of the tridentate ligands. All the complexes exhibit a positive redox potential (versus n.h.e.). The weak -bonding of dppt, caused by the highly electron-withdrawing phenyl rings, the strong -back bonding involving phen and dmp, and interligand repulsions appear to be responsible for the relatively positive Cu^II/Cu^I redox potentials.

N-Phthaloylglycinate ternary complexes with cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) metal ions and aromatic mono,bi and tridentate amines

Complexes of N-phthaloylglycinate (N-phthgly) and Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II, Zn^II and Cd^II containing imidazole (imi), N-methylimidazole (mimi), 2,2-bipyridyl (bipy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), and tridentate amines such as 2,2,2-terpyridine (terpy) and 2,4,6-(2-pyridyl)s-triazine (tptz), were prepared and characterized by conventional methods, i.r. spectra and by thermogravimetric analysis. For imi and mimi ternary complexes, the general formula [M(imi/mimi)₂(N-phthgly)₂]·nH₂O, where M = Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Zn^II applies. For Cd^II ternary complexes with imi, [Cd(imi)₃(N-phthgly)₂]·2H₂O applies. For the bi and tridentate ligands, ternary complexes of the formula [M(L)(N-phthgly)₂]·nH₂O were obtained, where M = Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Zn^II; L = bipy, phen, tptz and terpy. In all complexes, N-phthgly acts as a monodentate ligand, coordinating metal ions through the carboxylate oxygen, except for the ternary complexes of Co^II, Ni^II and Cu^II with mimi and Cu^II and Zn^II with imi, where the N-phthgly acts as a bidentate ligand, coordinating the metal ions through both carboxylate oxygen atoms.     

Kinetics and mechanism of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid-, 2,2′-bipyridyl-, and 1,10-phenanthroline-assisted chromium(VI) oxidation of 2-propanol

Complexing agents ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 2,2-bipyridyl (bpy), and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) influence the rate of chromic acid oxidation of 2-propanol in aqueous HClO₄ solutions. EDTA and bpy catalyse the oxidation rate, whereas phen has no effect, but at higher concentration it acts as an inhibitor. Dependent on conditions, the reactions follow differing order kinetics. In the presence of EDTA and bpy, at the end of the reaction, chromium(III) is present as the EDTA–Cr^III and bpy–Cr^III complexes. Probable mechanisms are proposed involving a negatively charged termolecular intermediate complex formed from chromic acid, complexing agent, and 2-propanol.     

Reactions ofbis(isopropylxanthato)nickel(II) with N-donor ligands

Summary Complexes of Ni^II with isopropylxanthate and Lewis bases as mixed N-ligands of composition [Ni(i-prxa)₂(L)] and [Ni(i-prxa)₂(L)₂] have been prepared, where i-prxa = i-C₃H₇OCS ₂ ^- , and L = ethylenediamine, 2,2-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline or 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline, and L =-picoline or benzothiazole. On the basis of their chemical analyses, i.r. and electronic spectra, magnetic measurements, thermal analyses and molar conductivities, an octahedral structure is proposed. The crystal and molecular structures of [Ni(i-prxa)₂(phen)] and [Ni(i-prxa)₂(btz)₂] were determined, showing oncis-octahedral andtrans-octahedral coordination spheres, respectively, with an NiS₄N₂ chromophore.     

Partial molar volumes and partial molar adiabatic compressibilities of bipyridine and phenanthroline complexes with Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) and chlorides of these metals

Densities and ultrasonic velocities were measured at 25°C for aqueous solutions of bipyridine and phenanthroline complexes [M(bpy)₃]Cl₂ and [M(phen)₃]Cl₂ (M=Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu, bpy=2,2-bipyridine, and phen=1,10-phenanthroline), and chlorides of these metals. The partial molar volumes V ₂ ^o and partial molar adiabatic compressibilities K _s ^o were calculated. For the complex ions, [M(bpy)₃]²⁺ and [M(phen)₃]²⁺, electrostatic interactions with the solvent are not nearly as important as effects due to the hydrophobic ligands bpy and phen. The relationship between V ₂ ^o and K _s ^o of the complex ions and common metal ions are examined.     

Synthesis and magnetic properties of tetrabromophthalato-bridged manganese(II) binuclear complexes

Summary Four novel Mn^II binuclear complexes have been prepared and characterized, namely: [Mn₂(TBPHTA)(L)₄](ClO₄)₂ [L = 2,2-bipyridyl (bipy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 4,4-dimethyl-2,2-bipyridyl (Me₂bipy) and 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (NO₂-phen), respectively], and TBPHTA = the tetrabromophthalate dianion. Based on i.r. spectra, elemental analyses and conductivity measurements, extended tetrabromophthalato-bridged structures consisting of two Mn^II ions, in which each Mn^II ion has a distorted octahedral environment, are proposed for these complexes. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility for [Mn₂(TBPHTA)(phen)₄] (ClO₄)₂·H₂O was measured over the 4–300 K range and the observed data were successfully simulated by an equation based on the spin Hamiltonian operator ( = -2J _{1 2}), giving the exchange integral J = -1.22 cm^–1. This result indicates a weak antiferromagnetic spin exchange interaction between the metal ions.
