“Lantern-Shaped” Platinum(III)‎ Complexes with Axially Bound 9-Ethylguanine or 1-Methylcytosine (L)‎ of General Formula [Pt2{HN=C(But)‎O}4L2](NO3)‎2

Abstract EN

The synthesis, NMR characterization, and X-ray crystallography of “lantern-shaped” platinum(III) complexes with four pivaloamidate bridging ligands and two 9-ethylguanines (9-EtG) or 1-methylcytosines (1-MeC) in axial positions are reported: cis-N2O2-[Pt2{HN=C(But)O}4(9-EtG)2](NO3)2 and cis-N2O2-[Pt2{HN=C(But)O}4(1-MeC)2](NO3)2.

The last complex is, to the best of our knowledge, the first dinuclear compound of platinum(III) with axially bound 1-MeC.
