Abstract
Herein, we report the DNA interaction studies of rhenium(I) and -(V) compounds with Schiff base chelates encompassing biologically relevant moieties. More specifically, the DNA interaction capabilities of these rhenium complexes were probed using Gel Electrophoresis and Calf Thymus–DNA titrations monitored by temperature-controlled electronic spectroscopy. The DNA binding modes of the metal compounds were corroborated by molecular docking simulations. In addition, the synthesis and characterization of a novel facial tricarbonyl rhenium(I) compound, fac-[Re(chrs)(CO)3Br], (chrs = {3-{[(2-hydroxyphenyl)imino]methyl}-4H-chromen-4-one) are reported.
