Popis: The novel ligand (dmbip) 2-(4-N, N-dimethylbenzenamine)1H-imidazo[4, 5-f][1, 10]phenanthroline and its complexes [Ru(phen)2dmbip](2+) (1), [Ru(bpy)2dmbip](2+) (2), [Co(phen)2dmbip](3+) (3) and [Co(bpy)2dmbip](3+) (4) [where phen = 1, 10-phenanthroline, bpy = 2, 2'-bipyridine], have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and Mass spectra. The DNA binding properties of the complexes were investigated by absorption, emission, quenching studies, light switch "on and off", salt dependent, sensor (cation and anion) studies, viscosity measurements, cyclic voltammetry, molecular modeling and docking studies. The four complexes were screened for Photo cleavage of pBR322 DNA, antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity. The experimental results indicate that the four complexes can intercalate into DNA base pairs. The DNA-binding affinities of these complexes follow the order [Ru(phen)2dmbip](2+)[Co(phen)2dmbip](3+)[Ru(bpy)2dmbip](2+)[Co(bpy)2dmbip](3+).
