Five coordinated novel complexes of CuII and NiII have been synthesized from benzil and 1,3- diaminopropane-CuII/NiII complex and characterized by elemental analysis, i.r., n.m.r., e.p.r, molar conductance and u.v-vis, spectroscopy. The complexes are ionic in nature and exhibit pentaeoordinated geometry around the metal ion. The reaction kinetics of C25H36N5O2CuCl with calf thymus DNA was studied by u.v-vis, spectroscopy in aqueous medium. The complex after interaction with calf thymus DNA shows shift in the absorption spectrum and hypochromicity indicating an intercalative binding mode. The Kobs values have been calculated under pseudo-first order conditions. The redox behaviour of complex C25H36N5O2CuCl in the presence and in the absence of calf thymus DNA in the aqueous solution has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The cyclic voitammogram exhibits one quasi-reversible redox wave corresponding to CuII/CuI redox couple with E1/2 values of -0.377 and -0.237 V respectively at a scan rate of 0.1Vs-1 .On interaction with calf thymus DNA, the complex C25H36N5O2CuCl exhibits shifts in both Ep as well as in E1/2 values, indicating strong binding of the complex to the calf thymus DNA.

The complex formed between acridine orange (AO) and polycytidylic acid (poly(C)) was studied by spectrophotometry and spectrofluorometry. The complex was characterized by its stoichiometry, structure, and the thermodynamic parameters of its formation. The results are in agreement with an external aggregation of the protonated dye along the negatively charged poly(C) chain and indicate that approximately two AO molecules are bound per nucleotide unit of poly(C). The kinetics of the reaction between this complex and a Pd(II) complex was studied by the stopped-flow method. The addition of (dien)Pd(II) to the AO–poly(C) complex leads to the dissociation of the latter, due to fixation of the Pd(II) complex to the N3 site of the cytosine base of poly(C). The rate constant for the AO liberation, extrapolated at zero AO concentration, corresponds to the rate constant of Pd(II) fixation on poly(C). This indicates that AO can be used as an indicator for this reaction and allows kinetic studies at very low concentrations (≤ 5 × 10−6 M).
