Abstract

To explore anti-tumor activities of manganese complexes, two complexes have been synthesized and characterized. Complex 1 is bridged by 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,4-biphenyl dicarboxylate. The two complexes have strong fluorescent emission and interact with DNA in an intercalative mode. The complexes also exhibit significant cytotoxic specificity and cancer cell inhibition.
