Mixed-ligand copper(<scp>ii</scp>)-phenolate complexes: structure and studies on DNA/protein binding profiles, DNA cleavage, molecular docking and cytotoxicity

Abstract

Copper(<sc>ii</sc>) complexes with simple and mixed ligands, [Cu(L)(ClO₄)] and [Cu(L)(diimine)]ClO₄were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV-vis, FT-IR, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and electrochemical studies.
