Synthesis and NMR studies of ruthenium(II) mercaptopurine riboside complexes. X-Ray structure of bis(9-β-D-ribofuranosyl-6-rnercaptopurine)bis-(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) chloride
Abstract
The first X-ray structure of a ruthenium-nucleoside compound and the first structure of a 6-mercaptopurine riboside complex with any metal was obtained with one of several RuII-6-mercaptopurine nucleoside complexes prepared from [RuIICl2(PPh3)3]; namely, bis(9-β-D-ribofuranosyl-6-mercaptopurine)bis(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) chloride (C56H59.5Cl2N8O10.75P2RuS2).
