The electronic structures of these Ru（II） complexes were analyzed on the basis of their geometric structures optimized in aqueous solution, and the trend in the DNA-binding constants （Kb） was reasonably explained. The results show that the replacement of imidazole ligand by thiophene ligand can effectively improve the DNA-binding affinity of the complex. Meanwhile, it was found that introduc- ing the stronger electronegative N atom and NO2 group on terminal loop of intercalative ligand can obviously reduce the complex＇s LUMO and HOMO-LUMO gap energies. Based on these findings, the designed complex [Ru（MeIm）42ntz]^2＋ （3） can be expected to have the greatest Kb value in complexes 1-3. In addition, the structure-activity relationships and antitumor mechanism were also carefully discussed, and the antimetastatic activity of the designed complex 3 was predicted. Finally, the electronic absorption spectra of this series of complexes in aqueous solution were calculated, simulated and assigned using DFT/TDDFT methods as well as conductor-like polarizable continuum model （CPCM）, and were in good agreement with the experimental results.展开更多
