title: Structures of platinum(II) complexes of 2-aminomethylaziridine and S-2-aminomethylazetidine and correlation of anticancer activities of (2-aminomethylazacycloalkane)platinum(II) complexes with the geometry of the chelate rings formed with platinum(II).
abstract: The spectroscopic properties of platinum(II) complexes with 2-aminomethyl-derivatives of small-membered 1-aza-cycloalkane, i.e., =2-aminomethylaziridine=azida and S-2-aminomethylazetidine=S-azeda, and the crystal structures of their dichloro complexes demonstrate that the conformation of the fused three- (azida) or four- (S-azeda) and five-membered chelate ring formed by the coordination of S-azida and S-azeda to platinum(II) has an S(N) absolute configuration at the secondary amine site and that the two alkyl groups extend axially from the five-membered chelate ring. The chelate ring of the azida is more planar than the S-azeda or other 2-aminomethyl-1-azacycloalkanes. The anticancer activity reported for azeda and 2-aminomethylpyrrolidine appears to be related to their coordination structure, namely the presence of cis-fused successive rings.
