Macrocyclic CuII complexes with [NXOY] donor sets of different N/O ratios were synthesised resulting in a series ranging from cyclen (X = 4, Y = 0: 1) to 12-crown-4 (X = 0, Y = 4: 6) complexes. In order to elucidate the structure of the complexes UV/Vis spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography were applied, focusing especially on the literature-unknown compounds with regioisomeric [N2O2] and [NONO] donor sets (3, 4). The complexes were subjected to DNA cleavage experiments under reducing conditions and were also tested in the absence of a reducing agent. Although 3 and 6 were the most active DNA cleavers in the presence of reducing ascorbate, both of them and 4 also cleaved DNA (not hydrolytically) in its absence. This brings up questions regarding the cleavage mechanism. The present study is an expansion of our previously reported finding that heterosubstitution in macrocyclic ligands leads to changes in oxidative DNA cleavage activity of CuII complexes.

A method is proposed for the production of di- and polyazacrown ethers by the condensation of bissulfonamides with dibromides or ditosyloxy derivatives in a two-phase aqueous alkali-toluene (benzene) system.The optimum concentration range for the substrate and the alkylating agent is 0.017-0.1 M.The catalytic activity of the quaternary ammonium salts decreases in the order (Bu)4NI > (Bu4)NBr > (Bu4)NCl > (Bu4)NHSO4 > (C2H5)3C6H5CH2NCl >> (Et)4NI > (Et)4NBr.The highest yields of te 12-membered azacrown ethers are obtained in the presence of lithium hyroxide, and the largest yields of the crown ethers with larger ring sizes are obtained in the presence of sodium or potassium hydroxide, and this is probably due to the matrix effects of the cation.
