Professor Dr. Mallayan Palaniandavar, (born 5 June 1951), is a bio-inorganic chemist known for his pioneering work and contributions to the field of chemistry. He is considered one of the prominent figures in bio-inorganic chemistry in India[according to whom?] and has made groundbreaking discoveries in the study of interaction of copper and iron with DNA. Modelling the active sites of dioxygen activation enzyme. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, United Kingdom a fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences, and a fellow of the Indian National Academy of Sciences, India.

Early life and education[edit]

Mallayan Palaniandavar completed his early education in Nadar Saraswathi Higher Secondary School, Theni, Tamilnadu, India. He earned his bachelor and master degree in Chemistry from Madurai Kamaraj University in 1971 and 1973. And he obtained his PhD in Coordination Chemistry from Madurai Kamaraj University in 1981. Simultaneously, he pursued his doctoral studies, supervised by C. Natarajan, to his PhD. His Thesis is titled "Synthesis and Study of Coordination Compounds: Cobalt(II), Nickel(II), and Copper(II) Complexes of α,β-Unsaturated o-Hydroxyarylcarbonyl Compounds and Their Oximes and Schiff Base Derivatives."

Dedication[edit]

In recognition of his work in the field of inorganic compounds of biological interest, a special issue of the *Inorganica Chimica Acta* journal (Elsevier) was dedicated to him. This special issue focused on inorganic compounds of biological interest and was released on the occasion of his 70th Birth Anniversary, highlighting his profound impact on this scientific domain.[1]

Notable Achievements[edit]

Palaniandavar established the fields of bioinorganic chemistry related to copper, iron, and DNA for the first time in India. His groundbreaking work motivated numerous individuals to pursue research in these areas.[2] He has successfully guided 28 research scholars in achieving their PhD degrees, and he currently supervises one ongoing research scholar. M. Palaniandavar initiated research on the interaction of metal complexes with DNA and modeled dioxygen-activating copper and iron enzymes, making significant contributions to the understanding of these processes.[3][4] He is an elected Fellow of prestigious organizations, including the Indian National Science Academy (FNA), the Indian Academy of Sciences (FASc), and the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC). He is a recipient of the Silver Medal from the Chemical Research Society of India (CRSI) for his extensive and outstanding contributions to research. He has received the University Grants Commission (UGC) Research Award and the Tamil Nadu Scientist Award. His research on the interaction of copper(II) with DNA led to the fundamental discovery that four cytosine molecules can simultaneously bind to Cu(II), shedding light on the intricate nature of these interactions.[5] His original studies on the interaction of mixed ligand Cu(II) and Ru(II) complexes with DNA and polynucleotides have provided insights into the structural and conformational changes in DNA.[6] M. Palaniandavar's work on Cu(II)/Cu(I) redox potential has explained the nuclease activity of copper(II) complexes. He discovered the left-handed Z-conformation in DNA upon binding to specific metal complexes, such as tris(5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)Cu(II) and -Ru(II) complexes. His research introduced the concept of 'exciton coupling,' leading to the spontaneous helical aggregation of racemic Ru(II) complexes on DNA and proposing a Ru(II)-based molecular light switch as a DNA probe. He has designed numerous Cu(II) and Ru(II)-arene complexes for cytotoxicity studies, particularly as metal-based anticancer drugs. His studies on the bioinorganic chemistry of dioxygen-activating enzymes and electron-transfer blue copper proteins have led to significant advancements in structural inorganic chemistr y. M. Palaniandavar has successfully duplicated the axial Cu(II)-phenolate bond found in dioxygen-activating enzymes using specific Cu(II) complexes.[7] His work on iron(III) mono- and bis-phenolate complexes has provided valuable structural and functional models for catechol dioxygenase enzymes.[8] He has studied iron(III) complexes in micellar media to mimic extradiol cleavage, a major natural pathway involved in catechol degradation.[9][10] His research includes the isolation of diiron(III) complexes as functional models for methane monooxygenase enzymes and the characterization of high-valent FeIV=O intermediate species.[11][12][13] Palaniandavar's work extends to Ru(III) and Ni(II) complexes as catalysts for hydroxylation of alkanes.[14][15][16] He has played a crucial role in establishing the Department of Chemistry at Bharathidasan University and has been instrumental in generating support for advanced instrumentation facilities and founding a Centre for Bio-inorganic Chemistry. His contributions have earned numerous international, national, and state awards and recognitions, including FNA, FASc, FRSC, JSPS Fellowship, IFCPAR project, and more. He has been actively involved in organizing academic events, such as Winter Schools, Refresher Courses, and Academy Lecture Workshops, to benefit postgraduate students, scholars, and young faculty members in the field of chemistry.
