Vanadium metal complexes based on wide range of the ligands have been explored at a greater extent for their various biological potential, in the recent times. Schiff bases are one of such fascinating ligands with donor sites varying according to the ketone or aldehyde group used. Based on these, a novel PS1V1, bis-vanadium complex was synthesized using schiff base backbone. It was characterized by using UV, FTIR, EPR and Mass spectral studies. The DNA binding ability of the characterized complex, PS1V1, was explored using UV and Fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. Furthermore, DNA binding mode of PS1V1 was also ascertained using competitive fluorescent displacement assay performed in the presence of minor groove biding agent, Hoeshcst.
