The reactivity of bromoform with [Au(CH2)2PPh2]2. The completion of the halomethane series CHyX4−y (y=3,2,1,0; X=Cl,Br, I) and reactivity with [Au(CH2)2PPh2]2

The reaction of [Au(CH₂)₂PPh₂]₂ with excess CHBr₃ in benzene initially gives [Au(CH₂)₂PPh₂]₂₋ (CHBr₂)Br. This observation establishes that halomethanes, CH_yX_4−y (y=3,2,1,0; X=Cl, Br, I), react with [Au(CH₂)₂PPh₂]₂ to initially give Au(II) adducts of the general form [Au(CH₂)₂PPh₂]₂₋(CH_yX_3−y)X (y=3,2,1,0) via oxidative addition across the carbon-halogen bond. The order of reactivity inversely follows the order of carbon-halogen bond dissociation energies of haloalkanes. Methyl chloride is the only halomethane of the series that does not give a Au(II) adduct under similar reaction conditions.     

Metal-modified nucleobase pairs involving 7,9-dimethylguanine: trans-a2PtII analogues (a = NH3 or CH3NH2) of Watson-Crick GC and homo GG pairs

 The analogy between H-bonded nucleobase pairs and their metalated analogues is extended to the hemiprotonated pair of 7,9-dimethylguanine (7,9-DimeG) and the Watson-Crick and reversed Watson-Crick pair between 7,9-dimethylguaninium (7,9-DimeGH⁺) and 1-methylcytosine (1-MeC). The crystal structure analyses of two model compounds, trans–[Pt(CH₃NH₂)₂(7,9-DimeG-N1)₂](NO₃)₂ (1) and trans–[Pt(NH₃)₂(1-MeC-N3)(7, 9-DimeG-N1)](PF₆)₂· 2.5 H₂O (3a) are reported. Pt binding is through N1 of 7,9-DimeG and N3 of 1-MeC. In solution, 3a exists in a mixture with Watson-Crick and reversed Watson-Crick arrangements of the two bases, depending on solvent, concentration and anions.

Crystal structures of three thiourea (tu) complexes of Pt(II): trans-[(tu)2Pt(NH3)2]Cl2, trans-[(tu)2Pt(CH3NH2)2]Cl2·3H2O and [Pt(tu)4]Cl2

The structures of three Pt(II) thiourea complexes, trans-[(tu)₂Pt(NH₃)₂]Cl₂ (1), trans-[(tu)₂Pt(CH₃NH₂)₂]Cl₂·3H₂O (2) and [Pt(tu)₄]Cl₂ (3), have been determined by X-ray diffraction and refined to R = 0.049 for 1026 reflections (1), R = 0.057 for 2547 reflections (2) and R = 0.046 for 2792 reflections (3). All the compounds crystallize in the space group P2₁/c and have cell dimensions: a = 5.437(1), b = 6.450(1), c = 17.980(3) Å, β = 96.05(2)°, Z = 2 (compound 1); a = 9.225(1), b = 15.404(2), c = 12.601(2) Å, β = 105.39(2)°, Z = 4 (compound 2); and a = 9.051(6), b = 10.203(6), c = 18.263(8) Å, β = 91.12(8)°, Z = 4 (compound 3). The unit cell of 1 and 3 contains only a single type of cation, while that of 2 is formed from two independent cations. In 1 and 2 the coordination spheres of the Pt atoms are rather similar, with angles close to 90° and coplanarity of the metal and respective donor atoms. Instead, in 3 the four sulfur atoms, which surround the Pt, display a slight distortion (0.06 Å from the mean plane) towards tetrahedral.     

Rhodium(III) cis-dihydrido complexes with 3,6-bis(2′-pyridyl)pyridazine (dppn) and bidiazines. Crystal and molecular structure of [Rh(H)2(dppn)(PPh3)2]PF6· CH2Cl2

The acetone complex [Rh(H)₂(acetone)₂(PPh₃)₂]- PF₆ reacts with bidiazines and 3,6-bis(2′-pyridyl)- pyridazine (dppn) giving the air stable cis-dihydrido rhodium(III) [Rh(H)₂(L)(PPh₃)₂]PF₆ complexes. The structure of the dichloromethane solvate of [Rh(H)₂(dppn)(PPh₃)₂]PF₆ has been determined by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/a, with a = 18.629(6), b = 15.339(5), c = 17.146(5) Å, β = 101.02(3)° and Z = 4. The structure has been solved from diffractometer data by Patterson and Fourier methods and refined by block-matrix least-squares to R = 0.076 for 6225 observed reflections. In the structure discrete [Rh(H)₂(dppn)(PPh₃)₂]⁺ cationic complexes, PF₆⁻ anions and dichloromethane solvent molecules are present. The Rh atom is octahedrally surrounded by two cis hydride ligands and by two cis nitrogen atoms from a dppn molecule acting as a bidentate chelating ligand through two neighbouring pyridyl and pyridazinyl nitrogen atoms. Two P atoms from PPh₃, ligands in trans apical positions complete to octahedral the coordination of Rh.     

Cis-diammineplatinum(II) forms a macrochelate with 2′-deoxycytidine 5′-monophosphate (dCMP2–)! Reactivity and acid-base properties of cis-Pt(NH3)2(dCMP)

 The synthesis of cis-Pt(NH₃)₂(dCMP) is reported and by various physico-chemical methods it is demonstrated that it is a macrochelate in which Pt(II) is bound simultaneously to the N3 site of cytosine in dCMP^2– and to a phosphate-oxygen atom. According to the NOESY spectra (cross-peaks between cytosine H6 and H2′ and H3′) the cytosine ring adopts an anti orientation. Highly unusual is the significant (1 ppm) downfield shift of the sugar proton H5″ in the ¹H-NMR spectrum and the sensitivity of the cytosine H6 resonance on the protonation state of the phosphate group. Based on these three features a geometry for the macrochelate is proposed. The compound is a major product of the reaction of cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂(H₂O)₂]²⁺ with dCMP^2– at neutral pH, but it even forms at pH 5. By applying pD-dependent NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ³¹P) and potentiometric pH titration, it is demonstrated that the Pt-coordinated phosphate group can be protonated (pK _a/1=3.21±0.10 and 3.31±0.05, respectively), and ¹H- and ³¹P-NMR spectra also indicate deprotonation (pK _a/2=13.35±0.25) of the exocyclic amino group of the cytosine moiety. The metal ion binding affinity of cis-Pt(NH₃)₂(dCMP) is very small, as shown for Cu²⁺ (log K<0.6). The cis-Pt(NH₃)₂(dCMP) complex reacts with nucleosides and nucleotides (L′) by losing its chelate structure and forming mixed ligand complexes, cis-Pt(NH₃)₂(dCMP)(L′); this means that the phosphate group is released from the coordination sphere of Pt(II), indicating that the Pt(II)-O(phosphate) bond is not very strong.

Mechanistic Studies on Metal-pyrophosphate Hydrolysis. Structure of Tetraammine(chloroaquo)cobait(III) dichloride ([CO(NH3)4ClH20]2+•-2Cl−), an Acid Hydrolysis Product of Co(NH3)4HP2O7 and Co(NH3)4PO4

Abstract

The octahedral complex tetraammine(chloroaquo)cobalt(III) dichloride is shown to be the HCl hydrolysis product of both P¹,^2-bidentate tetraammine(pyrophosphato)cobalt(III) [CO(NH₃)₄HP₂0₇ or CoPP] and bidentate tetraammine(phosphato)cobalt(III) [Co(NH₃)₄P0₄or CoP]. The complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna2¹ with cell dimensions α=13.033(2)Å, b=6.710(1) Å, and c=10.318(2)Å; the crystal structure was refined to a final disagreement index of 0.033. The average of the four Co-N distances is 1.944±6Å. The Co-Cl distance is 2.257(2)Å and the Co-O(W) distance is 1.971(4)Å. Both protons of the coordinated water molecule are engaged in strong hydrogen bonds to the two nonbonded chloride counterions with 0(W)-C1 distances of 3.087(6)Å and 3.123(6)Å. Each nonbonded chloride is engaged in seven hydrogen bonding interactions resulting from the high ratio of hydrogen bond donors to acceptors in the CoP structure. Cobalt bisphosphate (CoP₂) is the final enzyme hydrolysis product when CoPP is used as substrate in the yeast inorganic pyrophosphatase reaction. The bridge oxygen atom is the site of initial CoPP cleavage both, for HCl catalyzed hydrolysis as well as for enzyme catalyzed hydrolysis.     

Chiroptical properties of diastereomeric five-coordinate Pt(II)–olefin complexes. Molecular structure of [PtCl2{(S,S)-(E)-CNCHCHCN}(R,R)-{C6H5CH(CH3)N(CH3)CH2}2]·C6H6

The chiroptical properties of five-coordinate diastereomeric complexes of general formula [PtCl₂(R,R)-{C₆H₅CH(CH₃)N(CH₃)CH₂}₂{olefin}], with olefin ligands having electron-withdrawing substituents, have been investigated. The sign of CD bands in the 28 000–30 000 cm⁻¹ region appears to be correlated to the absolute configuration of the prochiral coordinated alkene. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure determination has been performed on the single diastereomer [PtCl₂(E-but-2-enedinitrile)(R,R)-{C₆H₅CH(CH₃)N(CH₃)CH₂}₂]· C₆H₆. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2 with a = 17.842(2), b = 8.466(1), c = 10.464(1) Å, β = 109.34(1)°, Z = 2. The number of observed reflections was 1943 and the final R and R_w values were 0.020 and 0.028 respectively. Trigonal-bipyramidal geometry is observed around the Pt atom, with the two Cl atoms in axial positions. The unsaturated ligand lies in the equatorial plane disclosing S,S absolute configuration.

Resolution of α, β and γ DNA of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the antitumor drug cis-Pt(NH3)2Cl2. Evidence for preferential drug binding by GpG sequences of DNA

This paper reports further studies on the separation of DNAs with the antitumor drug cis-Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂. cis-Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂ permits resolution of the three DNA components from whole Saccharomyces cerevisiae in CsCl gradients, avoids pelleting of mitochondrial (β) DNA and does not require a critical molar ratio of platinum drug to DNA-P. However, the difficulty in removing all of the DNA-bound platinum may limit its preparative use. The linear relationship between the increase in buoyant density of platinized double-stranded DNA and its G + C content is employed to calculate a G + C content of 41.2% and 45.8% for α and γ DNA, respectively, using a value of 20% G + C for β DNA. In parallel experiments, we find that poly(dG)·poly(dC), which contains sequential guanine bases, exhibits an unexpectedly large buoyant density increase with cis-Pt(NH₃)₂ Cl₂, while the buoyant density increase of poly[d(G-C)]is markedly retarded, indicating an effect of nucleotide base sequence on DNA separation. The trans platinum compound, which has no antitumor properties, separates DNAs on the basis of G + C content in a similar fashion, but does not preferentially increase the buoyant density of poly(dG)·poly(dC).     

Antitubercular activity of α,ω-diaminoalkanes,H2N(CH2)nNH2

A series of 11 α,ω-diaminoalkanes, (H₂N(CH₂)_nNH₂, n = 2–12) have been evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv. Compounds, (H₂N(CH₂)_nNH₂, n = 9–12), exhibited a very good activities in the range 2.50–3.12 μg/mL, which can be compared with that of the first line drug, ethambutol (3.12 μg/mL). These results and a preliminary QSAR study can be considered an important start point for the rational design of new leads for anti-TB compounds.     

Iridium(I) dimers with bridging N,N′-di-p-tolylformamidine. X-ray molecular structure of Ir2(μ-p-CH3C6H4NCHN-p-C6H4CH3)(μ-NH-p-C6H4CH3)(C8H14)2

The reaction of [IrCl(COD)]₂ with K[CH(N-p- C₆H₄CH₃)₂] (K⁺form⁻) has been carried out in both neat toluene and in the presence of Bu^tOH. In the first case [Ir(form)(COD)]₂ (1) was obtained in good yields. The other reaction follows a somewhat different course with partial alcoholysis of the formamidine ligand and formation of Ir₂(μ-form)(μ-NH-p-C₆H₄CH₃)(COD)₂ (2). Crystal data for compound 2: space group P2₁/c, a = 9.389(2), b = 21.083(4), c = 16.810(2) Å, β = 91.54(1)° V=3326(2) ų, Z = 4, R = 0.0343 for 3707 data with F_o² > 3σ(F_o²).     

A comparative theoretical investigation into the strength of the trigger-bond in the Na+, Mg2+ and HF complexes involving the nitro group of R–NO2 (R = –CH3, –NH2 and –OCH3) or the C = C bond of (E)-O2N–CH = CH–NO2

A comparative theoretical investigation into the change in strength of the trigger-bond upon formation of the Na⁺, Mg²⁺ and HF complexes involving the nitro group of RNO₂ (R?=? –CH₃, –NH₂, –OCH₃) or the C?=?C bond of (E)-O₂N–CH?=?CH–NO₂ was carried out using the B3LYP and MP2(full) methods with the 6-311++G**, 6-311++G(2df,2p) and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets. Except for the Mg²⁺?π system with (E)-O₂N–CH?=?CH–NO₂ (i.e., C₂H₂N₂O₄?Mg²⁺), the strength of the trigger-bond X–NO₂ (X?=?C, N or O) was enhanced upon complex formation. Furthermore, the increment of bond dissociation energy of the X–NO₂ bond in the Na⁺ complex was far greater than that in the corresponding HF system. Thus, the explosive sensitivity in the former might be lower than that in the latter. For C₂H₂N₂O₄?Mg²⁺, the explosive sensitivity might also be reduced. Therefore, it is possible that introducing cations into the structure of explosives might be more efficacious at reducing explosive sensitivity than the formation of an intermolecular hydrogen-bonded complex. AIM, NBO and electron density shifts analyses showed that the electron density shifted toward the X–NO₂ bond upon complex formation, leading to a strengthened X–NO₂ bond and possibly reduced explosive sensitivity.

Molecular Mechanics Simulations in Structure Analysis of Intercalate VOPO4·2CH3CH2OH

Molecular mechanics simulations using Cerius² combined with X-ray diffraction and supported with vibrational spectroscopy have been used to investigate the layered structure of vanadyl phosphate VOPO₄ intercalated with ethanol. This intercalated structure exhibits certain degree of disorder, which affects the diffraction diagram and obstructs the conventional structure analysis based on diffraction methods only. Present structure analysis is focused to the crystal packing in the interlayer space and layer stacking in the intercalate. The bilayer arrangement of ethanol molecules in the interlayer has been found, giving the basal spacing d = 13.21 Å, experimental d-value obtained from X-ray diffraction is 13.17 Å. One half from the total number of CH₃CH₂OH molecules is anchored with their oxygens to VOPO₄ layers to complete vanadium octahedra and their orientation is not very strictly defined. The second half of ethanoles is linked with hydrogen bridges to the anchored etahanoles and sometimes also to the layer oxygens. Positions and orientations of these unachored ethanoles with respect to VOPO₄ layers exhibit certain degree of disorder, resulting in the disorder in layer stacking. Molecular mechanics simulations revealed the character of this displacement disorder in layer stacking and enabled to determine the components of the displacement vector.     

Is there a plasma membrane-located anion-sensitive ATPase? III. Identity of the erythrocyte enzyme with (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase.

The characteristics of the anion-sensitive Mg2+-ATPase activity of the rabbit erythrocyte have been studied in a lyophilized ghost preparation. The enzyme appears to be different from the anion-sensitive Mg2+-ATPase activity of other tissues in many parameters, such as optimal pH, effects of various anions, oligomycin sensitivity and effects of Triton X-100. The enzyme is insensitive towards inhibition by irreversibly bound 4,4'-diisothiocyano-dihydrostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (H2DIDS). This excludes a relationship between the enzyme and the "band 3" protein, which is thought to be involved in the anion exchange over the erythrocyte membrane. From the effects of ethyleneglycol-bis-(beta-aminoethylether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), CaCl2, chlorpromazine and ruthenium red it is concluded that the enzyme activity does not represent a separate entity but is part of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase system of the erythrocyte membrane. A reported stimulatory effect of carbonic anhydrase is attributed to a contamination of the carbonic anhydrase preparation by calcium and/or (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activator protein.
