Abstract
New chiral Ru(II) complexes Δ and Λ-[Ru(bpy)2(pyip)](PF6)2 [(bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine; pyip = (2-(1-pyrenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f] [1,10]phenanthroline] were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, ESI-MS, IR, and CD spectra. Their DNA-binding properties were studied by means of UV-vis, emission spectra, CD spectra and viscosity measurements. A subtle but detectable difference was observed in the interaction of both enantiomer with CT-DNA. Spectroscopy experiments indicated that each of these complexes could interact with the DNA. The DNA-binding of the Δ-enantiomer was stronger than that of Λ-enantiomer. DNA-viscosity experiments provided evidence that both Δ- and Λ-[Ru(bpy)2(pyip)](PF6)2 bound to DNA by intercalation. At the same time, the DNA-photocleavage properties of the complexes were investigated too. Under irradiation with UV light, Ru(II) complexes showed different efficiency of cleaving DNA.
