Abstract
A new dialkoxo‐bridged diiron(III) complex, [Fe~2~(BMA)~2~(CH~3~O)~2~Cl~2~]·2Cl·4CH~3~OH (1) [BMA = N,N‐bis(2‐benzimidazolylmethyl)amine], was synthesized and characterized by UV‐visible absorption and infrared spectra and magnetic susceptibilities. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/n, a = 12.9659(19) Å, b = 10.0278(16) Å, c = 17.919(2) Å, β = 93.766(8)° , V = 2324.8(6) Å^3^, Z = 2, F(000) = 1036, D~c~ = 1.426 g cm^−3^, µ = 0.908 mm^−1^. According to X‐ray crystallographic studies, each Fe(III) ion lies in a highly distorted octahedral environment, and two Fe(III) ions are bridged by the methoxyl oxygens. Cryomagnetic analyses indicated a moderate antiferromagnetic interaction between the high‐spin Fe(III) ions, with J = − 27.05 cm^−1^. Moreover, the binding interaction of DNA with the diiron complex was investigated by spectroscopic and agarose gel electrophoretic methods, showing moderate cleavage activity on pBR322 plasmid DNA at physiological pH and temperature.
