Transition-metal–nucleotide complexes. X-Ray crystal and molecular structures of the cobalt(II) and cadmium(II) complexes of cytosine 5′-monophosphate, [Co(CMP)(H2O)] and [Cd(CMP)(H2O)]·H2O

Abstract

Crystal and molecular structure determinations of the transition-metal–nucleotide complexes Co(CMP)(H₂O) and Cd(CMP)(H₂O)·H₂O show the former to be two-dimensionally polymeric with the tetrahyderal cobalt ion directly bonded to two phosphate oxygen atoms, N(3) to be three-dimensionally cadmium ion directly bonded to three phosphate oxygen atoms, N(3) of the pyridimine ring, and one water molecule.
