Template synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of 16-membered [N4] Schiff-base macrocyclic complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II): in vitro DNA-binding studies

Template condensation between o-phthalaldehyde and 3,4-diaminotoluene resulted in mononuclear 16-membered tetraimine macrocyclic complexes, [MLCl2] [M = Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II)]. The proposed stoichiometry and the nature of the complexes have been deduced from elemental analyses, mass spectra, and molar conductance data. The macrocyclic framework has been inferred from ν(C=N) and ν(M–N) bands in the IR spectra and the resonances observed in 1H and 13C-NMR spectra. Octahedral geometry has been assigned for all these complexes on the basis of position of the bands in electronic spectra and magnetic moment data; distorted octahedral geometry has been assigned for the Cu(II) complex on the basis of EPR data. The low-conductivity data of all the complexes suggest their non-ionic nature. Interaction of these complexes with calf-thymus DNA (CT DNA) has been examined with fluorescence quenching experiments, which show that the complexes are avid binders of CT DNA.
