Article Citation - WoS: 75Citation - Scopus: 80Unique Ligand-Based Oxidative Dna Cleavage by Zinc(ii) Complexes of Hpyramol and Hpyrimol(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2007) Maheswari, Palanisamy Uma; Barends, Sharief; Oezalp-Yaman, Seniz; de Hoog, Paul; Casellas, Helene; Teat, Simon J.; Reedijk, JanThe zinc(II) complexes reported here have been synthesised from the ligand 4-methyl-2-N-(2-pyridylmethyl)aminophenol (Hpyramol) with chloride or acetate counterions. All the five complexes have been structurally characterised, and the crystal structures reveal that the ligand Hpyramol gradually undergoes an oxidative dehydrogenation to form the ligand 4-methyl-2-N-(2-pyridylmethylene)aminophenol (Hpyrimol), upon coordination to Zn-II. All the five complexes cleave the phi X174 phage DNA oxidatively and the complexes with fully dehydrogenated pyrimol ligands were found to be more efficient than the complexes with non-dehydrogenated Hpyramol ligands. The DNA cleavage is suggested to be ligand-based, whereas the pure ligands alone do not cleave DNA. The DNA cleavage is strongly suggested to be oxidative, possibly due to the involvement of a non-diffusible phenoxyl radical mechanism. ne enzymatic religation experiments and DNA cleavage in the presence of different radical scavengers further support the oxidative DNA cleavage by the zinc(II) complexes.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 12Synthesis, Characterization, Redox Behavior and Hydrogenation Catalytic Activity of Bis(n-aryl-3, 5-but< Complexes(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2005) Kasumov, VT; Tas, E; Köksal, F; Özalp-Yaman, SThe synthesis, spectroscopic (H-1 NMR, IR, UV-Vis), electron-transfer properties and catalytic reactivity of new palladium(II) complexes, with N-aryl-3,5-Bu-2(t)-salicylaldimines prepared from 3,5-Bu-2(t)-salicylaldehyde and o-,p-substituted anilines (X-C6H4NH2, X = H. F. Cl, Br, CH3, OCH3, t-Bu, 5,6-benzo) are reported. Cyclic voltammetry studies of the complexes exhibit an irreversible anodic peak that corresponds to the phenoxide/phenoxyl oxidation. The chemical oxidation of the complexes with (NH4)(2)Ce(NO3)(6) in CHCl3, besides relatively stable Pd-II-phenoxyl radical complexes (g = 2.0083-2.0114), also generate nitroxide radicals exhibiting strongly anisotropic spectra (g(parallel to) = 2.0061, g(perpendicular to) = 2.0072, A(parallel to) = 37.5, A(perpendicular to) = 5.38 G) typical for immobilized nitroxide radicals. It has been found that the introduction of t-Bu groups on the salicylic ring increases catalytic activity of towards hydrogenation of nitrobenzene in DMF at room temperature. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
