Screening the DNA interaction ability and antimicrobial activity of a few novel bioactive complexes tethering N-((2-aminophenyl)(phenyl)methylene)-4-nitroaniline.

Few novel transition metal complexes having N-((2-aminophenyl)(phenyl)methylene)-4-nitroaniline were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, (1)H and (13)C NMR, electronic, EPR and mass spectra, conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements. All the metal complexes adopted square planar geometrical arrangements. The DNA-binding properties of the metal(II) complexes have been investigated by electronic absorption, fluorescence, CD spectra, cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammogram and viscosity measurements.

Exploring the photochemosensitivity by novel cysteine-based mixed ligand complexes.

A new series of cysteine-based metal(II) complexes with 2,2'-bipyridine or 1,10-phenanthroline as co-ligand have been prepared and characterized. Their DNA binding and cleavage properties have been studied. The analytical and spectroscopic data of complexes 1-18 reveal that the complexes adopt an octahedral geometry around the central metal ion in which the cysteine is coordinated through NS and NN atoms, respectively.

Persistent DNA binding, cleavage performance and eco-friendly catalytic nature of novel complexes having 2-aminobenzophenone precursor.

This paper describes the synthesis of four novel bidentate metal(II) complexes having 2-aminobenzophenone precursor and a co-ligand (anthranilic acid). They are characterized by the usual spectral and analytical data. They adopt octahedral geometrical arrangements around the metal ions which have been confirmed by electronic absorption data.
