The interaction of native DNA with iron(III)- N ,N'-ethylene-bis(salicylideneiminato)-chloride.

Abstract The interaction between native calf thymus deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and Fe III - N , N ′ -ethylene-bis (salicylideneiminato)-chloride, Fe(Salen)Cl, was investigated in aqueous solutions by UV–visible (UV–vis) absorption, circular dichroism (CD), thermal denaturation and viscosity measurements. The results obtained from CD, UV–vis and viscosity measurements exclude DNA intercalation and can be interpreted in terms of an electrostatic binding between the Fe(Salen) + cation and the phosphate groups of DNA. The trend of the UV–vis absorption band of the Fe(Salen)Cl complex at different ratios [DNA phosphate ]/[Fe(Salen)Cl] and the large increase of the melting temperature of DNA in …

Di- and Tri-organotin(IV) Complexes ofN-Acetyltriglycine andN-Benzoyltriglycine: Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characterization

Di- and tri-organotin(IV) derivatives of N-acetyltriglycine and N-benzoyltriglycine (HA) were obtained by refluxing equimolar mixtures of the ligand and the organotin(IV) oxide or hydroxide in methanol or acetone. According to the spectroscopic data, triorganotin(IV) derivatives adopt a trigonal-bipyramidal structure in which the planar R 3 Sn IV unit is bonded by a monodentate carboxylate group and a donor group, presumably the amide C=O. The reaction of HA with the appropriate diorganotin(IV) compounds gave both dicarboxylates R 2 SnA 2 , with six-coordinated tin, and dimeric tetra-organodistannoxanes {[R 2 SnA] 2 O}2, in which the tin atoms are essentially five-coordinated.

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of organotin derivatives ofN-benzoylglycylglycine

Di- and tri-organotin derivatives of N-benzoylglycylglycine (HBzGlyGly) were synthesized and characterized by infrared, 1H, 13C NMR and 119Sn Mossbauer spectroscopy. Diorganotin derivatives appear to be dimer distannoxanes ([R2SnBzGlyGly]2O)2 (R = CH3, n-C4H9, n-C8H17) with a ladder-type structure where tin atoms are five-coordinated and N-benzoylglycylglycine alternatively acts as a unidentate or bridging bidentate ligand through the carboxylate group. For triorganotin derivatives R3SnBzGlyGly (R= CH3, n-C4Hg) we propose a polymeric structure where N-benzoylglycylglycine bridges planar SnC3 units through the carboxylate group.
