Carbon-13 magnetic resonance spectra of nucleosides and their Pd(II) complexes.
Chemical shifts occurring in carbon-13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy are utilized to assess the site of complexation of nucleosides to enPdC12 in neutral aqueous solutions. Binding occurs at N3 in cytidine, thymidine, and uridien, at N7 in 1-methylguanosine, and at N1 in guanosine. For most carbon atoms adjacent to N3 in the pyrimidine nucleosides the complexation shifts of the basic ligand are about 30% of the corresponding upfield protonation shifts. All complexes are of the form enPdL2 indicating that the ligands are unidentate and that the tendency to chelation is weak. Carbon-13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy appears to be the best method for delineating these complexes in solution. Due to the high avidity of chloride ion for Pt(II), cis dichloro Pd(II) complexes may be better models for intracellular action of the corresponding Pt(II) complexes than the Pt(II) complexes themselves.
