Interaction of dimethyltin(IV)dichloride with 5′-AMP and 5′-GMP

The formation constants of the species formed in the systems H+ + dimethyltin(IV) + 5′-AMP and 5′-GMP, H+ + 5′-AMP, and H+ + 5′-GMP have been determined in aqueous solution in the pH range of 1.5–9 at constant temperature (25 °C) and constant ionic strength (0.1 mol dm–3, NaClO4) using spectrophotometric and potentiometric techniques. 1H and 31P NMR investigations in aqueous solution confirmed the species formation and led us to propose their structures. The precipitated complexes of AMP and GMP by Me2Sn(IV)2+ at low pH values were characterized by elemental analysis and FTIR spectroscopy, which ruled out purine moiety (N-1 and N-7) coordination and a bidentated coordination of the phosphate group is concluded in both cases.Key words: dimethyltin(IV)dichloride, guanosine 5′-monophosphate, adenosine 5′-monophosphate, stability and protonation constants.

Coordination properties of adenosine-5'-monophosphate and related ligands towards Me2Sn(IV)2+ in aqueous solution

The coordination of Me2Sn(IV)2+ to adenosine-5'-monophosphate (AMP) and the related compounds D-ribose-5-phosphate (R5P), D-glucose-1-phosphate (G1P) and D-glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) in aqueous solution was investigated by means of potentiometric titration, and 1H-, 31P-NMR and Mössbauer spectroscopic methods in the pH range 2-11 (I=0.1 M NaClO4, 298 K). The complex of AMP and Me2Sn(IV)2+ precipitated at low pH was characterised by elemental analysis, FT-IR and Mössbauer spectroscopic methods. From a comparison of the pK values obtained in the presence and absence of metal ion and the stability constants for the different systems, the coordination of [N] is excluded, while bidentate coordination of the phosphate group is presumed. Mössbauer spectroscopic measurements recorded in the glassy state confirmed bidentate coordination of the phosphate and the formation of mixed hydroxo complexes in the weakly acidic, neutral and strongly basic pH range. With increasing pH, the phosphate groups were replaced by the deprotonated alcoholic [O] atoms of the sugar moiety. The solid complex proved to be tbp structure with bidentate phosphate coordination.

Equilibrium and structural studies on metal complexes of carbohyrates and their derivatives

A summary is presented of the studies of our group on metal complexes of carbohydrates (aldoses, ketoses, mono-, di- and polysaccharides) and their derivatives (aldonic, alduronic acids, polyalcohols, amino sugars, amino acid sugar adducts, AMP, ATP, etc.). The results are reported of equilibrium, electrochemical, solution and solid-state structural studies of complexes of transition metals [Cu(II), Fe(III), Ni(II), Zn(II), Co(II), Ag(I), Mn in different oxidation states and organotin(IV)]. The structural parameters (coordination number, bond distance, and Debye-Waller factor) obtained by extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopic (EXAFS) spectroscopy are discussed in detail. The general rules concerning the formation and structure of such complexes are emphasized.
