Electrochemical studies of [Cu(phen)(c-mala)] N03, [Cu(phen)2CI2]·5.5H20, [Cu(phen)(edda)·5.5H20, and their interaction with DNA and H202

Electrochemical characterization of the copper complexes; [Cu(phen)(c-mala)]NO3,[Cu(phen)2Cl2)5]·5.5H2O, and [Cu(phen)(edda)]·5H2O (phen= phenanthroline;c-mala = c-methylanaline; and edda = ethylenediaminediacetic) have been carried out using cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronocoulometry (CC), and chron...
