Figure 4

UV-Vis spectra of complexes 1 (a), 2 (b), and 3 (c) in the absence and presence of CT-DNA; the complex concentration was 1.5 × 10−5 M, and DNA concentrations were 0, 0.5 × 10−5, 1.5 × 10−5, 3.0 × 10−5, 6.0 × 10−5, and 9.0 × 10−5 M corresponding to the curves from 1 to 6, respectively. The arrow shows the intensity change on increasing the DNA concentration.
