Abstract: Herein, we report the synthesis, characterisation, X-ray crystallography, and oxidative DNA binding interactions of the copper artificial metallo-nuclease [Cu(DPQ)2(NO3)](NO3), where DPQ = dipyrido[3,2-f:2′,3′-h]quinoxaline. The cation [Cu(DPQ)2]2+ (Cu-DPQ), is a high-affinity binder of duplex DNA and… read more here.

Abstract: In this study, a series of new heteroleptic copper(I) bis(diimine) complexes are described. Using one highly hindered phenanthroline ligand and a second less-hindered diimine ligand led to unexpected results. Following a two-step one-pot method to… read more here.
