Bio active mixed ligand complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II): Synthesis, spectral, XRD, DNA binding and cleavage properties

The synthesized novel bio-active metal complexes possess a broad spectrum of activity and open the promise of finding new clinically effective antimicrobial compounds. They are good intercalators, laying the foundation for the rational design of new useful DNA probes and effective inorganic complex nucleases.
