    Abstract:
    2-Carboxylbenzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (HL), and its three lanthanide (III) complexes, LnL(3) x 4H(2)O [Ln(III)=La, Sm, Eu], have been synthesized in water. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductivity and IR spectra. The crystal structure of [Sm(2)L(6)(CH(3)OH)(4)] x 7.5CH(3)OH x 0.5H(2)O obtained from methanol solution was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis, crystallized in the triclinic system, space group P-1, Z=1, a=12.217 (2)A, b=14.706 (2)A, c=15.035 (2)A, alpha=111.84(1) degrees , beta=103.47(1) degrees , gamma=104.24(1) degrees , R(1)=0.0290. It has symmetrical (mu-OCO)(2), (mu-O)(2) and disamarium(III) units. The coordination geometry of each Sm(III) ion is a distorted tetradecahedron with nine oxygen atoms. In addition, the DNA-binding properties of the ligand and its complexes have been investigated by absorption, fluorescence, and viscosity measurements. The experimental results indicate that the ligand and the Sm-complex can bind to DNA, but the other two complexes cannot; the binding affinity of the Sm-complex is higher than that of the ligand and the intrinsic binding constant K(b) of the complex is 3.22 x 10(5)M(-1).
