Synthesis, crystal structure and hydrolysis activity of a novel heterobinuclear cobalt(ІІІ) sodium(І) Schiff base complex

Molecular docking of the complex with pBR322 supercoiled plasmid DNA. The interaction of Co3 + and PO bond is shown as a dashed line. The Co3 + can function as Lewis acid, it attacks the oxygen atom with negative charges in the phosphate group, causing the hydrolysis reaction.139
