Macrochelation, cyclometallation and G-quartet formation: N3- and C8-bound PdII complexes of adenine and guanine.

The reactions of Pd(II) ions with a series of chelate-tethered derivatives of adenine and guanine have been studied and reveal a difference in the reactivity of the purine bases. Reactions of [PdCl2(MeCN)2] and A-alkyl-enH x Cl (alkyl = propyl or ethyl, A adenine, en = ethylenediamine) yield the mon...
