Zinc(II) Terpyridine Complexes: Substituent Effect on Photoluminescence, Antiproliferative Activity, and DNA Interaction.

ABSTRACT: A series of ZnCl₂ complexes (compounds 1-10) with 4'-(substituted-phenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine that bears hydrogen (L¹), p-methyl (L²), p-methoxy (L³), p-phenyl (L⁴), p-tolyl (L⁵), p-hydroxyl (L⁶), m-hydroxyl (L⁷), o-hydroxyl (L⁸), p-carboxyl (L⁹), or p-methylsulfonyl (L¹⁰) were prepared and then characterized by ¹H NMR, electrospray mass-spectra (ESI-MS), IR, elemental analysis, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. In vitro cytotoxicity assay was used to monitor the antiproliferative activities against tumor ce
