| Abstract: | Two new mononuclear Mn(II) complexes, Mn(dmbpy)2(OCN)2 (1) and Mn(dmbpy)2(dca)2 (2) (dmbpy = 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine, dca = dicyanamide), have been synthesized and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, and single crystal X-ray analysis. Both complexes have similar molecular structures. The coordination sphere of the Mn(II) ion in 1 or 2 is a seriously distorted octahedron formed by two dmbpy ligands and two OCN− or dca anions in cis positions. For both complexes, the most striking feature is that the mononuclear molecules are linked together by plentiful weak C-H?N hydrogen bonds into a compact 3D supramolecular structure. DNA cleavage studies show that the complexes can promote plasmid DNA cleavage in the presence of H2O2 under physiological conditions, and their cleavage activities are obviously both pH value and complex concentration-dependent. The cleavage mechanism between the complexes and plasmid DNA is likely to involve hydroxyl radicals as reactive oxygen species. |
