Two new Cu(II)-hydrazone complexes, [Cu(L)(Hbpe)ClO4]center dot ClO4 center dot[Cu(L)Cl] (1) and [Cu (HL)(2)]center dot 1.5ClO(4)center dot 0.5OH (2) (where HL = (E)-N'-(1-(pyridine-2-yl)ethylidene)benzohydrazide and bpe = trans-1-(2-pyridyl)-2-(4-pyridyl)ethylene), have been synthesized and characterized by physicochemical methods. The structures of the complexes have been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction direct methods, which reveal that the metal ions have distorted square-pyramidal and square-planar geometries in 1, and a distorted octahedral geometry in 2. DNA binding of HL, 1, and 2, performed by UV-vis titration in tris-buffer medium, yielded binding constants, which are 9.5 x 10(3), 1.88 x 10(4), and 4.66 x 10(4) M-1, respectively. Viscosity measurements suggest a surface or groove-binding mode of interaction between CT-DNA with HL, 1, and 2.
