Six new ferrocenyl phenylguanidines have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, multinuclear (H-1 and C-13) NMR, and single crystal analysis. The latter showed a supramolecular structure for 2 mediated by OH and H interactions. A subsequent DNA-binding study of these complexes proved them to be good DNA binders with the binding constant varying in the range of 1.25.6x10(5)M(1). These compounds were found to have moderate antibacterial and significant antifungal activities, especially for compounds having a chlorophenyl. These compounds may emerge as a new class of anticancer and antifungal agents alone or in combination with other drugs.
