In the title compound, trans-[PtCl2(C15H15ClFN5)2], the Pt(II) atom, located on an inversion centre, is coordinated by the purine N atoms of the 2-chloro-6-[(3-fluoro-benz-yl)amino]-9-isopropyl-9H-purine ligands and two Cl atoms in a slightly distorted trans-square-planar coordination geometry [N-Pt-Cl angles = 89.91 (5) and 90.09 (5)°]. Weak intra-molecular N-H⋯Cl contacts occur. In the crysta...

The stability of trans-(Pt(NH3)2[d(CGAG)-N7-G,N7-G]) adducts, resulting from cross-links between two guanine residues at d(CGAG) sites within single-stranded oligonucleotides by trans-diamminedichloro-platinum(II), has been studied under various conditions of temperature, salt and pH. The trans-(Pt(NH3)2[d(C GAG)-N7-G,N7-G]) cross-links rearrange into trans-(Pt(NH3)2[d(CGAG)-N3-C,N7-G]) cross-l...

The new conjugated organometallic polymer (-spacer-C[triple bond]C-Pt(PBu3)2-C[triple bond]C-)n (3; spacer = para-bis(diphenyl(tetramethyl)quinone diimine) and the cyclic mononuclear model complex, spacer'-C[triple bond]C-Pt(PEt3)2-C[triple bond]C x CuCl (4; spacer' = ortho-diphenyl-2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-benzoquinone diimine) were synthesized from the 1:1 condensation of the corresponding die...

A series of four platinum(II) complexes bearing two tetrathiafulvalene acetylide ligands coordinated either cis or trans to the metal center are reported: cis-Pt(bipy)(C≡CMe(3)TTF)(2), cis-Pt(tBu(2)bipy)(C≡CMe(3)TTF)(2), cis-Pt(dppe)(C≡CMe(3)TTF)(2) and trans-Pt(PPh(3))(2)(C≡CMe(3)TTF)(2). The X-ray diffraction studies of the four complexes are reported and discussed. The electrochemical invest...

The title dinuclear platinum compound, [Pt(2)Cl(4)(C(22)H(16)N(4))(C(2)H(6)S)(2)], with a long bridging bipyridyl-type ligand, is centrosymmetric and the Pt(II) cation shows a slightly distorted square-planar coordination geometry. The Cl ligands are trans to each other, with a Cl-Pt-Cl angle of 178.83 (8)°. The pyridine ring forms a dihedral angle of 48.8 (2)° with the planar PtCl(2)SN unit. W...

In an approach to design drugs with higher affinity for π-π stacking and electrostatic interactions with targeted biomolecules, complexes of the type [{cis-Pt(A)2 (L)}2 -μ-{trans-1,4-dach}](NO3 )4 ((A)2 =(NH3 )2 or ethylenediamine (en), L=quinoline (quin) or benzothiazole (bztz), dach=trans-1,4-diaminocyclohexane) were synthesized. The quinoline complex, [{cis-Pt(en)(quin)}2 -μ-(dach)](NO3 )4 (...

In the title complex, [PtCl(4)(C(12)H(8)N(2))]·H(2)O, the Pt(4+) ion is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral environment by two N atoms of a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and by four Cl atoms. As a result of the different trans effects of the N and Cl atoms, the Pt-Cl bonds trans to the N atom are slightly shorter than those trans to the Cl atom. The compound displays inter-molecular π-π int...
