A novel metal-binding mode of thymine nucleobases: N3 and O4 chelation.
The syntheses and crystal structures of the first examples of an anionic 1-methylthymine [deprotonated at the endocyclic NH group N(3)] acting as a chelating ligand for the cis-Pd(C6F3H2)2 and cis-Pd(C6F5)2 moieties through N(3) and O(4) are reported.
