Abstract: | New asymmetric ligands have been synthesized by condensing o-phenylene diamine with CS2 and PhCHO/MeCHO, and their complexes with MnII, CoII, NiII, CuII and ZnII were prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, i.r., u.v.–vis., e.p.r. and n.m.r. spectra. The transition metals in the complexes show square planar geometry and are ionic. Photokinetic studies of the DNA-metal complexes [C10H10S4N2Cu](NO3)2 and [C10H10S4N2Ni](NO3)2 were carried out and the rate constants k(DNA-complex) were calculated. The results indicate that DNA reacts with the metal complex in two steps. DNA first undergoes structural degradation and is then completely hydrolysed as indicated by spectral changes consistent with earlier results. The asymmetric N2S2 macrocyclic metal complexes show a strong propensity for DNA inhibition and can be used as an intercalating binding model. |
