Combining four different model nucleobases (uracil, adenine, guanine, cytosine) via metal binding and H bond formation in a single compound
Abstract
A cyclic arrangement of the four model nucleobases 1-methyluracilate (mura), 9-ethyladenine (eade), 9-ethylguanine (Hegua) and 1-methylcytosine (mcyt), held together by two metal entities [trans-(NH3)2PtII and trans-(MeNH2)2PtII] and multiple H bond interactions, is presented.
