title: Synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of two transition metal complexes based on functionalised 1,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-D-galactitol and methyl 2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside.
abstract: Two new ligands of transition metal cations based on galactose-derived scaffolds were synthesised: 1,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-3,4,6-tri-O-(2-picolyl)-D-galactitol and methyl 2-deoxy-3,4,6-tri-O-(2-picolyl)-alpha-D-galactopyranoside. These ligands permitted the isolation as single crystals of a Co(II) and a Ni(II) complex, respectively. The structures of both complexes were determined by X-ray crystallography showing a coordination sphere including sugar-bound oxygen atoms. The sugar-derived ligands were found to be in both cases in high energy conformations in the crystal structures of the complexes. These conformations contain an arrangement of sugar-bound oxygen atoms similar to those observed in polyol-metal and carbohydrate-metal complexes.
