title: Mono-vitamin B6 complexes of palladium(II) and their interactions with nucleosides.
abstract: The interactions of potassium tetrachloropalladate(II) with the B6 vitamins pyridoxal, pyridoxine, and pyridoxamine in 1:1 molar ratio have been studied. From DMF solutions, the ionic trichloro (pyridoxal or pyridoxine) palladates(II) were isolated. Pyridoxamine, on the other hand, in aqueous solutions gave the dimeric complex bis [mu-chloro-pyridoxaminato-palladium(II)]. In the first two complexes, the ligands coordinated to palladium through their pyridine nitrogen while, in the last one, pyridoxamine acted as a chelating ligand through its phenolic oxygen and aminomethyl nitrogen. All three complexes reacted with nucleosides, yielding the complexes [Pd(PL)(Nucl)Cl2], [Pd(PN)(Nucl)Cl2], and [Pd(PM-H+)(Nucl)Cl], respectively. Those complexes with one ionizable N(1)H imino proton underwent deprotonation, and the new mixed ligand complexes [Pd(PL)(Nucl-H+)Cl], [Pd(PN)(Nucl-H+)], and [Pd(PM-H+)(Nucl-H+)] were formed. In all mixed ligand complexes, the B6 vitamins maintained their coordination modes. The nucleosides, on the other hand, exhibited their usual coordination sites, i.e., in the nondeprotonated complexes, purine nucleosides coordinated only through their N7 atom. In the deprotonated complexes, they acted as bidentate ligands and coordinated through their N7 and O6 atoms. All complexes were characterized with elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, and various spectroscopic techniques.
