A new ruthenium polypyridine complex, [Ru(phen) 2(pMIP)] 2+(phen=1,10-phenanthroline, pMIP=2-(4-methylphenyl)imidazo phenanthroline), was synthesized and characterized by elementary analysis, MS and 1H NMR.

Spectroscopic methods have been carried out on the interaction mechanism of the Ru (Ⅱ) complex with yeast tRNA systematically. The experimental results indicate that the complex binds to yeast tRNA with an intercalative mode possibly, and interacts with yeast tRNA enantioselectively. The experimental results also suggest that spectroscopic method is effective on studying the interaction mechanism of Ru (Ⅱ) complexes with RNA. Information obtained from the study is potentially useful in the design of new RNA-targeting drugs.展开更多

The results show that complex [Ru(phen)2PMIP]2+ {phen=1,10-phenanthroline, PMIP=2-(4-methylphenyl)imidazo1,10-phenanthroline} interacts with calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) in terms of a model for a single set of identical sites through intercalation. The results are in agreement with our previous observations from spectroscopic methods and viscosity measurements. In addition, the results further show that the driving force for DNA binding with the complex is mainly driven by the enthalpy changes, and the contribution from the entropy changes to this driving force is negligible.展开更多
Two enantiomerically pure polypyridyl ruthenium(Ⅱ) complexes Δ- and Λ-[Ru(bpy) 2HPIP](PF 6) 2{HPIP=2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline} were synthesized and characterized.

DNA-binding studies indicated that both enantiomers bound to calf thymus DNA by intercalation, the Δ- enantiomer exhibited a stronger binding affinity than the Λ- enantiomer. Upon irradiation at 302 nm, both enantiomers were found to promote cleavage of plasmid pBR 322 DNA from the supercoiled form Ⅰ to the open circular form Ⅱ, but the Δ-enantiomer exhibited a higher cleaving efficiency for DNA due to the different binding affinities to DNA. The cleaving mechanisms for Δ- and Λ-[Ru(bpy) 2HPIP] 2+ were identical, the hydroxyl radical(OH ·) was likely to be the reactive specie responsible for the cleavage of plasmid pBR 322, and the photoreduction of Ru(Ⅱ) complex with concomitant hydroxide oxidation was the important step in the DNA cleavage reaction.展开更多
The two mixed ligand complexes, cis [Ru(mnt)(bpy)2] (1) and cis [Ru (dmit)(bpy)2] (2) (where mnt2- is maleonitriledithiolate and dmit2- reprents 4,5 dimercapto 1,3 dithiole 2 thione), have been synthesized and charact...The two mixed ligand complexes, cis [Ru(mnt)(bpy)2] (1) and cis [Ru (dmit)(bpy)2] (2) (where mnt2- is maleonitriledithiolate and dmit2- reprents 4,5 dimercapto 1,3 dithiole 2 thione), have been synthesized and characterized by element analysis and IR spectra. The electronic spectra of 1 and 2 in DMF solutions showed that the two complexes have broad absorption charge transfer bands [LMCT i.e. charge transfer from dithiolate to Ru? or LL′CT, that is, charge transfer from dithiolate to 2,2′ bipyridine] in the visible region. Compared with 1, the LMCT or LL′CT band for 2 shifts to low frequency. The results of electrochemistry of the two complexes in DMF are consistent with that of the electronic spectra.展开更多
