The First-principlies Calculations of the Electronic Structures and Optical properties of Ⅱ-Ⅲ2-Ⅵ4 （Ⅱ=Zn,Cd; Ⅲ= In; Ⅵ=Se,Te）

The electronic structures and optical properties of II-III2-VI4 （II = Zn, Cd; III = In; VI = Se, Te） compounds are studied by the density functional theory （DFT） using the Vienna ab initio simulation package （VASP）. Geometrical optimization of the unit cell is in good agreement with the experimental data. Our calculations show that the valence band maximum （VBM） and conduction band minimum （CBM） are located at G resulting in a direct energy gap. The optical properties are analyzed, and the independent second harmonic generation （SHG） coefficients are determined. By an analysis of the band structure, we can get that SHG response of the system can be attributed to the transitions from the bands near the top of valence band that are derived from the Se/Te p states to the unoccupied bands contributed by the p states of In atoms.

Syntheses,Crystal Structures and DNA-binding Properties of Zn(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ) and Co(Ⅱ) Compounds Containing Thiazole Derivatives

Zn(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ) and Co(Ⅱ) compounds(1～3) based on 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole(bpt) and terephthalic acid(PTA) were synthesized. The crystal structures of [Zn(bpt)(PTA)2](1), [Ni(bpt)(PTA)2](2), and [Co(bpt)(PTA)2](3) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, which shows that all the three complexes belong to monoclinic system with space group P21/c. Time-dependent density functional theory(TD-DFT) calculation is performed on a reference structure of compound 3. The excited electrons mainly localized at the π* of ligand 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole, which will be convenient for them to bind with the DNA reacting sites. Fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet(UV) spectroscopy and viscosity were used to characterize the interaction of the compounds with Calf thymus DNA(CT-DNA). The results indicate that compounds 1～3 bind to CT-DNA and have a strong interaction with DNA. The compounds can probably bind to CT-DNA via a non-intercalative mode as concluded by studying the viscosity of a DNA solution in the presence of the compounds. This combination can effectively break DNA, which speculates that these three compounds may interact with the cancer cell DNA in this binding mode, thereby damaging the cancer cells.

A NCG ligand has two carboxylate groups, one connecting a Zn ion, and the other bridgiong two Zn ions. The NCG ligand bridges four Zn ions through the amino group and two carboxylate groups with a water molecule to yield a 3D coordination polymer structure with hydrogen bonds.

Syntheses,Crystal Structures and DNA-binding Properties of Cd(Ⅱ), Co(Ⅱ), Cu(Ⅱ) and Zn(Ⅱ) Complexes Containing Imidazolium Derivatives

Cd(Ⅱ), Co(Ⅱ), Cu(Ⅱ) and Zn(Ⅱ) complexes(1~4) based on 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole(pbm) and 4,4'-oxybisbenzoic acid(H2odc) were synthesized. The formulas of these complexes are [Cd(pbm)(odc)2](1), [Co(pbm)(odc)2](2), [Cu(pbm)(odc)2](3) and [Zn(pbm)(odc)2](4) confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, which shows that complexes 1, 2 and 4 belong to monoclinic system with space group P21/n, while complex 3 belongs to monoclinic system with space group P21/c. The binding properties of complexes 1~4 with CT-DNA are evaluated by ultraviolet spectrum, fluorescence spectra and viscosity measurements. The results indicate that complexes 1~4 have strong interaction with CT-DNA binding. These complexes exhibit an electrostatic or groove mode in respect of binding with DNA, which can effectively destroy DNA. And this binding mode may be applied to the interaction between the complexes and cancer cell DNA. Therefore, we hope to provide a theoretical and scientific basis for the research of anti-cancer drugs.
