AbstractA complex of Tb 3+, acrylic acid (AA), and 1, 10-phenanthroline (Phen) was synthesized. The structure and fluorescence of Tb(AA) 3Phen•H 2O was characterized with elemental analysis, FT-IR, and fluorescence spectroscopy. A novel copolymer containing rare earth complex, poly (METAC-co-NIPAm-co-Tb(AA) 3Phen•H 2O) (PMNTb), was prepared by free radical copolymerization in methanol with azodiisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator. 1H NMR, fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, and TEM were used to characterize this copolymer. The interaction of PMNTb with DNA was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, and agarose gel electrophoresis. The results of fluorescence, UV-vis absorption, and agarose electrophoresis indicated that the PMNTb could interact with DNA in an electrostatic bonding mode and the bonding constant was 3.4×10 5 L mol -1. The TEM observation showed that the PMNTb could form micelles in water solution; the efficient complexation of PMNTb with DNA occurred. The results of in vitro cytotoxicity indicated that PMNTb had good biocompability. These results laid the foundation for the further study in potential gene detective reagent and gene delivery carrier. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
