The first structurally characterized coordination compounds with homocysteine

Abstract

D-Homocysteine (D-H2hcys) coordinates to CoIII center in a tridentate-N,O,S mode to form trans(N)-[Co(D-hcys)2]-, which binds to PdII center to produce an S-bridged CoIII2PdII complex with two trans(N)-[Co(D-hcys)2]- units. The use of racemic D/L-H2hcys leads to the selective isolation of an analogous CoIII2PdII complex with trans(N)-[Co(D-hcys)2]- and trans(N)-[Co(L-hcys)2]- units.
