Abstract
The analogy between H-bonded nucleobase pairs and their metalated analogues is extended to the hemiprotonated pair of 7,9-dimethylguanine (7,9- DimeG) and the Watson-Crick and reversed Watson-Crick pair between 7,9- dimethylguaninium (7,9-DimeGH+) and 1-methylcytosine (1-MeC). The crystal structure analyses of two model compounds, trans-[Pt(CH3NH2)2(7,9-DimeG- NI)2](NO3)2 (1) and trans-[Pt(NH3)2(1-MeC-N3)(7,9-DimeG- NI)](PF6)2·2.5 H2O (3a) are reported. Pt binding is through N1 of 7,9- DimeG and N3 of 1-MeC. In solution, 3a exists in a mixture with Watson-Crick and reversed Watson-Crick arrangements of the two bases, depending on solvent, concentration and anions.
