Structural Exploration and Protein Binding Efficiencies of Binuclear Dioxidomolybdenum(VI) Complexes Constructed from ONO Chelator and Linear N−N Ditopic Spacer

Abstract

Binuclear dioxido Mo(VI) complexes(1 and 2) of general formula [(MoO2L1−2)2(bpe)] have been synthesized by varying a auxiliary bridging ligand on the primary ligand framework. The impact of spacer variation on metal-organic supramolecular architectures, DFT calculations and BSA binding efficiencies of the complexes has been studied. The intermolecular interactions in the crystal structures are also studied by Hirshfeld surface analysis. FRET, Time-resolved fluorescence measurement and molecular docking of the complexes were also carried out.
