Abstract

Two new copper(ii) complexes [CuL1] (1) and [CuL2] (2) derived from azo-based ligands 2-hydroxy-5-p-tolylazo-benzaldehyde (HL1) and 1-(2-hydroxy-5-p-tolylazo-phenyl)-ethan-one (HL2) were synthesized. These two ligands and their metal complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance (1H and 13C), infrared, and UV/Vis spectroscopic techniques. Spectroscopy and other theoretical studies reveal the geometry of copper complexes, and their binding affinity towards nucleic acids are major groove binding.
