Abstract
Two Pd(II) complexes and two Pt(II) complexes of formula [PdLCl 2], [PdL 2](ClO 4) 2, [PtLCl 2] and [Pt 2L 2Cl 2]Cl 2, respectively, where L=ethylthioethylamine, were synthesized and characterized by the usual spectroscopic techniques. Crystal structures of the palladium complexes were determined by X-ray diffraction. The ligand binds to the metal ion in bidentate fashion through the sulfur and nitrogen atoms, in both cases. The reactivity of the complexes with calf thymus and pBR322 plasmid DNA was studied by CD and electrophoretic mobility respectively. No changes affecting the secondary or tertiary DNA structure were observed.
