X-ray structure of a compound of cobalt with uridine 5'-monophosphate. Evidence for metal-phosphate bonding only.
An X-ray study of the crystal structure of a cobalt(II) complex with uridine 5'-monophosphate shows it to contain polymeric chains of composition [Co2(H2O)4 (5'-UMP)2]n. The cobalt atoms do not bind to the pyrimidine base moiety; instead each metal atom is octahedrally coordinated to four phosphate groups and two water molecules. Managanese(II) forms a similar compound.
