A. Hegmans et al., TRISKIS AND TETRAKIS( 1-METHYLCYTOSINE) COMPLEXES OF PT(II) - SYNTHESES AND X-RAY STRUCTURES OF [PT(1-MEC-N3)(3)CL](-MEC-N3)(4)](2+) COMPOUNDS() AND [PT(1), Inorganica Chimica Acta, 279(2), 1998, pp. 152-158
Starting from K2PtCl4 and 1-methylcytosine (1-MeC), cationic [Pt(1-MeC
)(3)Cl](+) (1) and [Pt(1-MeC)(4)](2+) (2) species have been prepared a
nd isolated with various counter-ions. 1a (NO3-), 1b (ClO4-), 2b (NO3-
), and 2c (Cl-) have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. Pt b
inding in 1 and 2 is through N3. The nucleobases display mutual head-t
ail-head and head-tail-head-tail orientations in 1 and 2, respectively
. The synthetic potential of the two complexes is briefly discussed. (
