The metal complexes of phenanthroline ramification can bind to DNA through noncovalent interactions,which will help develop new anticancer drugs. 1,10-phenanthro- line-5,6-dione (DIONE) was synthesized by oxidation of 1,10-Phenanthroline. 2,2'-bisg- lyoxaline[-5,6-f] phenanthroline (BGP) was then obtained by heating the mixture of DI- ONE / 2-imidazolecarboxaldehyde / ammonium acetate and glacial acetic acid to reflux. At last, copper complex of BGP was obtained by coordination reaction, which was BC, P charac- terized by IR, and all produ...
