title: Interaction of binuclear xylylthiolato(2,2',2"-terpyridine)platinum(II) complexes with DNA.
abstract: The new binuclear platinum(II) complexes, (1,3-benzenedimethanethiolate-S)di(2,2',2"-terpyridine)diplatinum(II) chloride tetrahydrate, 5, and (1,4-benzenedimethanethiolate-S)di(2,2',2"-terpyridine)diplatinum(II) chloride tetrahydrate, 6, were synthesized in order to investigate the binding of platinum(II) complex with calf thymus DNA, which was examined by UV and CD spectroscopies. Complex 5 interacted strongly with DNA by intercalation compared to 6.
