Four new copper(ii)–polypyridyl complexes having tail groups with increasing aromaticity, hydrophobicity and planarity are synthesized. These complexes are found to be avid DNA binders and show efficient nuclease activity under either chemical stimulus or UV-A light irradiation.
四种新的铜(II)-多吡啶配合物,具有具有增加的芳香性、疏水性和平面性的尾基团,已经合成。这些配合物被发现是亲DNA结合物质,并在化学刺激或紫外线A光照射下展现出高效的核酸酶活性。
