Ruthenium(II) Complex of Hbopip:  Synthesis, Characterization, pH-Induced Luminescence “Off−On−Off” Switch, and Avid Binding to DNA

Abstract: A novel ruthenium(II) complex of [Ru(bpy)2(Hbopip)](ClO4)2 (in which bpy=2,2'-bipyridine, Hbopip=2-(4-benzoxazolyl)phenylimidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline) was synthesized and characterized. The spectrophotometric pH titrations of the complex showed that it acted as a pH-induced luminescence "off-on-off" switch: a luminescence off-on switch with a luminescence enhancement factor of IpH=3.0/IpH=1.0=20 occurring over a narrow pH range of 1.00-3.00 plus a luminescence on-off switch with a luminescence enhancemen… Show more

“…The observed change of melting temperatures (DT m ) in the presence of complexes 1 and 2 are shown in Table 2. The increases in T m of the Ru(II) complex (the DT m is 6.0°C for 1, and 9.4°C for 2, respectively) are comparable to those observed for classical intercalators [45][46][47][48]. The large change in the T m of CT-DNA in the presence of complexes suggests an intercalative binding of the complexes to DNA and the binding affinities of both complexes with DNA are very strong.…”

“…The first ionization constant of the protonated piperazine ring is comparable to the corresponding pK a value of 1.50 for the complex 1a [38]. The ionization constant of the protonated imidazole rings is close to the pK a2 value of 5.23 for the complex [Ru(bpy) 2 (Hbopip)] 2+ [39]. The ionization constant of the neutral imidazole rings is comparable to the corresponding value of 9.28 for the complex [(bpy) 2 Ru(mbpibH 2 )Ru(bpy) 2 ] 4+ [40].…”
