Abstract
A novel ligand 2-(4'-phenoxy-phenyl)imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (PPIP) and its complexes [Ru(bpy)(2)(PPIP)](2+) (1) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and [Ru(phen)(2)(PPIP)](2+) (2) (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized and characterized by mass spectroscopy, (1)H NMR and cyclic voltammetry. The interaction of two complexes with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was investigated by spectroscopic and viscosity measurements. The results suggest that both complexes bind to DNA via an intercalative mode. Both complexes have also been found to promote the photocleavage of plasmid pBR 322 DNA under irradiated.Entities:
