Copper(II) complexes, [Cu(Hsal)(L)(ClO 4 )] (where Hsal = salicylaldehyde, 1: L = dpqC = dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c](6,7,8,9-tetrahydro)phenazine) and 2: L = dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine]), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods. Single crystal XRD on 1 confirms the presence of square pyramidal geometry around Cu(II). DNA interaction studies were performed for both the complexes using UV-visible, fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopic techniques and viscosity. These complexes bind with DNA through partial intercalation. Molecular docking studies confirm our experimental findings of mode of binding of our complexes with DNA.
