Abstract
Two iron(II) complexes, [FeII(pytBuN3)2](FeCl4) (1) and [FeII(pytBuMe2N3)Cl2] (2), with sterically constrained pytBuN3 and pytBuMe2N3 chelate ligands (pytBuN3 = 2,6-bis-(aldiimino)pyridyl; pytBuMe2N3 = 2,6-bis-(ketimino)pyridyl), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–vis spectra, and preliminary X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The latter revealed that Fe(II) in 1 is six-coordinate by six nitrogen donors from two bisiminopyridines in a distorted octahedron. Complex 2 reacts with thiourea with a second-order rate constant k2 = (2.50 ± 0.05) × 10−3 M−1 s−1 at 296 K, and the reaction seemed to be slow. In a similar way, the interaction of 2 and DNA was studied by fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy. The results revealed that 2 caused fluorescence quenching of DNA through a dynamic quenching procedure. The binding constants KA, Kapp, and KSV as well as the number of binding sites between 2 and DNA were determined.Keywords
