A copper(II) complex with o-phthalate acid [Cu(o-phth)-(H 2O)]n (1) and a cobalt(II) complex with 3-nitro-phthalic acid and 4,4′-bipyridine [Co(3-nitro-phth) (4,4′-bipy) 2(H2O)3]n (2) have been synthesized. These two novel complexes were characterized by IR, X-ray crystallography diffraction. Complex 1 belongs to monoclinic crystal with C2 (1)/c space group, the complex 2 triclinic crystal with P-1. Also, electrochemical properties of these complexes and thermal decomposition process of complex 1 were investigated. Copyright
Bis-phenanthroline copper(ii) phthalate complexes are potent in vitro antitumour agents with 'self-activating' metallo-nuclease and DNA binding properties

Three, structurally characterised, bis-phen Cu(ii) complexes of the phthalate isomers display rapid, low micromolar in vitro cytotoxicity against a range of epithelial tumour cells. The complexes induce relaxation of supercoiled plasmid DNA in the absence of external reducing agents and display efficient CT-DNA, Poly[d(A-T)]2 and Poly[d(G-C)]2 binding.
