Abstract:
A novel 36-metallacrown-6 complex [CuL(N(CN)₂)(PF₆)]₆∙0.5H₂O 1 was achieved using a tridendate ligand, 1,4,7-triisopropyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (L), and a flexible ligand, dicyanamide in MeOH. The μ1,5 bridging models of the dicyanamide ligand linked the macrocycle to form in a specific size with the chair conformation. The anion was important to form this 36-metallacrown-6 complex, as change was obtained with the larger anion BPh₄-, binuclear copper compound 2. The magnetic property indicates that slightly ferromagnetic interactions resulted from a superexchange mechanism. DNA binding properties were also studied. UV and fluorescence spectra showed that complex 1 could bind with DNA.
