title: Synthesis and coordination behavior of a bipyridine platinum(II) complex with thioglucose.
abstract: A mononuclear platinum(II) complex with two monodentate-S H4tg(-) ligands, [Pt(H4tg-κS)2(bpy)] (1), was newly synthesized by the reaction of [PtCl2(bpy)] (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridyl) with NaH4tg (NaH4tg =1-thio-β-d-glucose sodium salt) in water. Complex 1 reacted with additional [PtCl2(bpy)] in water to give an S-bridged dinuclear complex, [Pt2(μ2-H4tg-κ(1)S:κ(1)S)2(bpy)2](2+) ([2](2+)), in which a square-planar [Pt(H4tg)2(bpy)] unit binds to a [Pt(bpy)](2+) moiety through two thiolato groups. Treatments of 1 with Cu(2+) and Ni(2+) in water in the presence of bpy produced S-bridged dinuclear complexes [PtCu(μ2-H4tg-κ(1)S:κ(2)O,S)2(bpy)2](2+) ([3](2+)) and [PtNi(μ2-H4tg-κ(1)S:κ(2)O,S)2(bpy)2](2+) ([4](2+)), respectively, in which a square-planar [Pt(H4tg)2(bpy)] unit binds to a [M(bpy)](2+) (M = Cu(II), Ni(II)) moiety through two thiolato and two hydroxyl groups to form a chiral [M(N)2(O)2(S)2] octahedron with the Δ configuration. On the other hand, similar treatment with Cd(2+) in the presence of bpy resulted in the formation of an S-bridged trinuclear complex, [Cd{Pt(μ2-H4tg-κ(1)S:κ(2)O,S)(μ2-H4tg-κ(1)S:κ(1)S)(bpy)}2](2+) ([5](2+)), in which each of two square-planar [Pt(H4tg)2(bpy)] units binds to a Cd(II) ion through two thiolato groups and one hydroxyl group to form a chiral [Cd(O)2(S)4] octahedron with the Λ configuration. Of two geometrical configurations, syn and anti, which arise from the relative arrangement of two β-D-pyranose moieties, [2](2+) adopts the syn configuration with symmetric bridging sulfur atoms, while [3](2+), [4](2+), and [5](2+) all have the anti configuration with R configurational bridging sulfur atoms. All of the complexes were fully characterized by electronic absorption, CD, and NMR spectroscopies, along with single-crystal X-ray crystallography.
