Abstract:

Abstract Three Europium(III) complexes with Taurine-salicylaldehyde Schiff base ([(Eu(TSal)L(NO3)]•2H2O, TSal :Taurine-salicylaldehyde Schiff base, L1:1,10-phenanthroline, L2: 2-aminopyrimidine, L3: 2,2’-bipyridine)have been synthesized and characterized. The interaction mode between the complexes and calf thymus DNA has been investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy and viscosity measurement. The results show that all the complexes can remarkably quench the emission intensity of EB-DNA system. With increasing concentration of the complexes, their ability of binding to DNA is more prominent under the experimental conditions. All experimental results indicate that the interaction of the complexes with calf thymus DNA is intercalation mode. The sequence of intercalation ability of the complexes is [Eu(TSal)L1(NO3)]•2H2O>[Eu (TSal)L3(NO3)] •2H2O>[Eu(TSal) L2(NO3)]• 2H2O.
