description

A new copper complex with N-quinolin-8-yl-p-toulenesulfonamide has been prepared and characterised. The compound crystallises in the triclinic system, space group P1, with a=13.457(3), b=15.067(5), c=18.589(3) A; α=112.05(2), β=93.92(2), γ=108.30(2)° and Z=4. The geometry of the Cu(II) ion is distorted square planar. The N-quinolin-8-yl-p-toulenesulfonamidate anion behaves as a bidentate ligand through the N s u l f o n a m i d a t e and N q u i n o l i n e atoms. The complex does not cleave DNA in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.
