title: Spectra and DNA-binding affinities of Copper(II), Nickel(II) complexes with a novel glycine Schiff base derived from chromone.
abstract: New [CuL.(H(2)O)(3)]NO(3).H(2)O and [NiL.H(2)O]NO(3).2H(2)O complexes with Schiff base (LNa) derived from 6-hydroxy-3-carbaldehyde chromone (CDC) and glycine are reported. Two complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR data, TG/DTA and molar conductivity. The binding of these two complexes to calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) has been investigated, respectively, with UV-vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and viscosity measurements. The experiment results indicate that the two complexes may bind to CT-DNA through an intercalative mode and [CuL.(H(2)O)(3)]NO(3).H(2)O intercalates into DNA more deeply than [NiL.H(2)O]NO(3).2H(2)O. Their intrinsic binding constants (K) with DNA are 6.08 x 10(5) and 2.76 x 10(5)M(-1).
