Two new complexes： [Cu（TBZ）（bipy）Cl]Cl[H2O （1） and [Cu（TBZ）（phen）CI]CloH20 （2） [TBZ=2-（4＇-thiazolyl）- benzimidazole, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and bipy =2,2＇-bipyridine] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, IR, and UV-vis methods. Complex 2, structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c in a unit cell of a = 0.85257（12） nm, b=2.5358（4） nm, c=1.15151（13） nm, β=118.721（8）°, V=2.183.2（5） nm^3, Z=4, Dc=1.624 gocm 3, μ= 1.367 mm^-1. The complexes, free ligands and chloride copper（II） salt were each tested for their ability to inhibit the growth of two gram-positive （B. subtilis and S. aureus） and two gram-negative （Salmonella and E. coli） bacteria. The complexes showed good antibacterial activities against the microorganisms. The interaction between the com- plexes and calf thymus DNA in aqueous solution was investigated adopting electronic absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, viscosity measurements and cyclic voltammetry. Results suggest that the two complexes can bind to DNA by intercalative mode. In addition, the result of agarose gel electrophoresis suggested that the complexes can cleave the plasmid DNA at physiological pH and room temperature. Mechanistic studies with different inhibiting reagents reveal that hydroxyl radicals, and a singlet oxygen-like copper-oxo species are all involved in the DNA scission process mediated by the complexes.

Machining characteristics of complex prism pattern on electroplated roll by copper

The BLU (back light unit) is the core component of the LCD for notebook, mobile-phone, navigation, as well as large sized TV, PID (public information display), etc. In order to enhance optical efficiency of LCD, optical films with the uniform prism patterns have been used for BLU by stacking two films up orthogonally. In this case, light interference-phenomenon occurred such as Morie, wet-out, u-turning, etc. It caused several problems such as low brightness, spots and stripes in LCD. Recently, the high-luminance micro complex prism patterns are actively studied to avoid the light interference-phenomenon and enhance the optical efficiency. In this study, the roll master to manufacture complex micro prism pattern film was machined by using the high precision lathe. The machined patterns on the roll master were 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10 and 5 μm in the pitch with 25.0, 22.5, 20.0, 17.5, 15.0, 12.5, 10.0, 7.5, 5.0 and 2.5 μm in the peak height, respectively. The roll was 2 000 mm in length and 320 mm in diameter. The electroplated roll by copper and the natural single crystal diamond tool was used for machining the patterns. The cutting force was measured and analyzed for each cutting condition by using the dynamometer. The chips and the surfaces after being machined were analyzed by SEM and microscope.
