| Summary: | A novel complex of
cadmium (II) picrate (pic) with V-shaped ligand
bis(N-allylbenzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)benzylamine
(babb), with composition
[Cd(babb)2](pic)2, was
synthesized and characterized by elemental
analyses and electrical conductivity, IR, and
UV/visible spectra. The crystal structure of the
complex has been determined by the
single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the
complex, the coordination sphere around Cd (II)
is distorted octahedral, six nitrogen atoms
involved in coordination afforded by two
tridentate ligand babb. Moreover, The
DNA-binding properties of the ligand babb and Cd
(II) complex were investigated by
spectrophotometric methods and viscosity
measurements, and the results suggest that they
bind to DNA via an intercalation binding mode,
and the Cd (II) complex shows higher affinity
than the ligand. |
