The origins of the optical switching effect were discussed. By the study of nonlinear optical properties for HBT in ethanol solvent, this paper verified that the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer （ESIPT） effect of HBT and the thermal effect of solvent worked on quite different time scales and together induced the change of the refractive index of HBT solution, leading to the signal beam deflection. The results indicated that the HBT molecule could be an excellent candidate for high-speed and high-sensitive optical switching devices.展开更多
Zn(Ⅱ), Ni(Ⅱ) and Co(Ⅱ) compounds(1～3) based on 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole(bpt) and terephthalic acid(PTA) were synthesized.

The crystal structures of [Zn(bpt)(PTA)2](1), [Ni(bpt)(PTA)2](2), and [Co(bpt)(PTA)2](3) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, which shows that all the three complexes belong to monoclinic system with space group P21/c. Time-dependent density functional theory(TD-DFT) calculation is performed on a reference structure of compound 3. The excited electrons mainly localized at the π* of ligand 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole, which will be convenient for them to bind with the DNA reacting sites. Fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet(UV) spectroscopy and viscosity were used to characterize the interaction of the compounds with Calf thymus DNA(CT-DNA). The results indicate that compounds 1～3 bind to CT-DNA and have a strong interaction with DNA. The compounds can probably bind to CT-DNA via a non-intercalative mode as concluded by studying the viscosity of a DNA solution in the presence of the compounds. This combination can effectively break DNA, which speculates that these three compounds may interact with the cancer cell DNA in this binding mode, thereby damaging the cancer cells.展开更多

The complex, structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, shows a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry in which two nitrogen atoms of PBT and the carboxylate oxygen atom O and the amino nitrogen atom N of Gly bind at the basal plane, a water molecule is coordinated at the apical position. The complex, Cu（ClO4）2 and flee PBT were each tested for their ability to inhibit the growth of two Gram（--） （Escherichia coil, Salmonella） and two Gram（＋） （Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus） microorganisms. The complex showed good antibacterial activities against the microorganisms compared with free PBT and Cu（C104）2. The interaction between the complex and calf thymus DNA in aqueous solution was investigated using electronic spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroic spectroscopy, and viscosity measurements. Results suggest that the complex could bind to DNA by an intercalative mode. In addition, the result of agarose gel electrophoresis showed that the complex can cleave the plasmid DNA by hydroxyl radicals and singlet oxygen-like species under the condition of physiological pH and room temperature.展开更多
