Abstract: | New ligand 2-(4′-biphenyl)imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (BPIP) and its complexes [Ru(bpy)2(BPIP)]2+ (1) (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) and [Ru(phen)2(BPIP)]2+ (2) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized and characterized by mass spectroscopy, 1H NMR and cyclic voltammetry. The interaction of two Ru(II) complexes with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was investigated by spectroscopic and viscosity measurements. Results indicate that both complexes bind to DNA via an intercalative mode and the DNA-binding affinity of complex 2 is much greater than that of complex 1. Furthermore, when irradiated at 365 nm, both complexes have also been found to promote the photocleavage of plasmid pBR 322 DNA. |
