The structure and electrochemistry of imidazolebis(1-10 phenanthroline)copper(II) nitrate

Cu(II) complexes with a sulfonamide derived from benzoguanamine. Oxidative cleavage of DNA in the presence of H2O2 and ascorbate

“…Copper complexes with ligands containing nitrogenated aromatic rings have deserved a great interest since the complex with 1,10-phenanthroline proved its ability to break DNA chains [1][2][3][4]. After this discovery, a large number of Cu complexes with this sort of ligands, able to break the DNA chain in the presence of H 2 O 2 and reducing agents, have been described [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

Molybdenocene–DNA interaction studies using electrochemical analysis

“…Cyclic voltammetry has proved to be a very sensitive analytical technique to determine changes in redox behavior of metallic species in the presence of biologically important molecules [24][25][26][27][28]. The redox behavior of metallic species is very sensitive to the coordination surrounding the metal center (solvent, ligand, charge), therefore metal-based interaction can be detected using this technique.…”

Synthesis, crystal structures and supramolecular architectures of square pyramidal Cu(II) complexes containing aromatic chelating N,N’-donor ligands

“…Due to the presence of an extended π-system, various non covalent π-interactions which mimic various biological processes, the study of these complexes have gained importance [24]. The coordination geometry of the copper(II) complexes depends on on the ligands, coligands, and counter ions [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. Numerous Cu in different coordination environments have been developed to study the supramolecular Cu networks [39][40][41][42].…”

“…Numerous Cu in different coordination environments have been developed to study the supramolecular Cu networks [39][40][41][42]. The five coordinated copper(II) complexes which containing N,N' chelating ligands and monodentate co-ligands have diverse stereo and physicochemical properties [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. Recently in addition to investigations of the copper(II) complexes of these ligands with simple anions such as Cl −…”
