The copper (II) complex Cu(Itpy)(2)(2) (1), (Itpy=imidazole terpyridine) has been synthesized and structurally characterized. Crystal structure of the complex shows the complex to be a monomeric copper (II) species with two Itpy ligands coordinated to the metal ion to give a six coordinate complex. The complex has a distorted octahedral geometry with axial elongation. Variable temperature crystal structure data shows dynamic nature of the Jahn-Teller distortion. The complex is an avid DNA binder with a binding constant of 4.26+/-0.20x10(3)M(-1). Observed changes in the viscosity and circular dichroic spectrum of calf thymus DNA solution in the presence of complex 1 suggests intercalative binding of complex 1 to DNA. The complex cleaves supercoiled pBR322 DNA oxidatively in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.
已合成并对铜(II)配合物Cu(Itpy)(2)(2)(1)(Itpy = 咪唑三联吡啶)进行了结构表征。该配合物的晶体结构表明其为单体铜(II)物种,有两个Itpy配体与金属离子配位形成六配位配合物。该配合物具有扭曲的八面体几何结构且轴向拉长。变温晶体结构数据显示了 Jahn-Teller 畸变的动态性质。该配合物是一种 avid DNA 结合剂,结合常数为 4.26±0.20x10(3)M(-1)。在配合物 1 存在下,小牛胸腺 DNA 溶液的粘度和圆二色光谱的观察变化表明配合物 1 与 DNA 存在插入结合。该配合物在过氧化氢存在下能氧化切割超螺旋 pBR322 DNA。
