Dinuclear copper(II) complexes of a polybenzimidazole ligand: their structures and inductive roles in DNA condensation.
The structures of two dinuclear Cu(II) complexes of dtpb were determined. They are shown to be capable of inducing DNA condensation into nanometer- and micrometer-scale particles under neutral conditions.
