Abstract: Two novel tridentate polypyridyl mixed-ligand cobalt(Ⅲ) [Co(PhTPY)(H2Bzimpy)]3+(A) and ruthenium(Ⅱ) [Ru(PhTPY)(Bzimpy)](B) complexes were synthesized and characterized via elemental analysis and 1H NMR. The crystal structure of complex B was determined. The interactions between the complexes and calf thymus DNA were investigated with absorption and fluorescence spectroscopys. Photoactivated cleavage of pBR322DNA by the synthesized complexes were studied. The spectrophotometric studies show that the modes of these two complexes interacting with DNA were electrostatic interaction. The agarose gel electrophoresis results show that complex A and complex B converted supercoiled pBR322DNA to nicked and linear DNA when irradiated by the light with a wavelengths 310 nm for 15 min, 450 nm for 4 min, respectively.
