characterized using different spectroscopy technique and these two structures optimized theoretically. Nucleicacidbinding studies are carried out with both Cu(II)-azo linked complexes and molecular docking technique are also performed to know best probable binding interaction mode with nucleicacid.
azo-azomethine pendants in the channels of the silicagel. Scanning electron microscopy and high resolution-transmission electron microscopy were used to analyse the surface morphology and porous nature of the sorbent. The azo-azomethine functionalized silica was further utilized for the uptake of picric acid (PA) assisted by proton transfer. PA (the “guest”) being highlyacidic interacts with the electron rich
