Copper(i) complexes with quinolone appended 1,8-naphthalimide conjugates: structural characterization, DNA and protein binding and cytotoxicity studies

Abstract

A novel 1,8-naphthalimide containing ligand (L) and its three mononuclear complexes with different anions, [Cu(L)2](NO3).3(H2O) (1), [Cu(L)2]Cl.4(H2O) (2), [Cu(L)2]ClO4.DMF (3) was synthesized and characterized by NMR, infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis,...
