Syntheses, crystal structures, DNA binding, DNA cleavage and DFT study of Co(iii) complexes involving azo-appended Schiff base ligands

resumo

Herein, we have reported three new Co(iii) complexes involving azo-appended Schiff base ligands. All three complexes were characterized using different spectroscopic tools like NMR, FTIR and UV-Vis. The structures of the complexes 1-3, were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. DFT and TDFFT computations were performed to support the structural and electronic parameters of the complexes. Computed bond distances and angles well resemble those of X-ray data. Absorption and viscometric titration studies revealed that each of these octahedral complexes interacts with CT DNA to result in minor groove binding. The intrinsic binding constants (K-b) were calculated to be 7.90 x 10(5), 1.35 x 10(5) and 1.075 x 10(5) M-1, respectively, for complexes 1-3. Complexes 1-3 also exhibited oxidative DNA cleavage activity in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.
