Excerpt

A preorganized cleft dinuclear zinc (II) complex of 2, 6-bis (1-methyl-1, 4, 7-triazacyclonon-1-yl) pyridine 1 as an artificial nuclease was prepared via an improved method. The interactions of 1, 2 [1, 4, 7-triazacyclononane (TACN)], and their zinc (II) complexes with calf thymus DNA were studied by spectroscopic techniques, including fluorescence and CD spectroscopy. The results indicate that the DNA binding affinities of these compounds are in the following order: ZnII2− 1> ZnII− 2> 1> 2. The binding constants of the ZnII2− 1 and ZnII …
