title: Platinum(II)-bis(9-methyladenine) complexes; N1-->N6 migration of Pt(II)vs deamination of coordinated methyladenine.
abstract: Stepwise migration of coordinated Pt(II) from the endocyclic N1 site to the exocyclic amino group occurs in the bis(9-methyladenine-N1) complex of cis-Pt(II)(NH(3))(2) in basic solution, whereafter deamination of the 9-methyladenine still coordinated at N-1 competes with a second migration step.
