Comparison of infrared spectra of the solid complexes and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the complexes in dimethyl-d6 sulfoxide with spectra of Guo, [GuoH]N03, and Na[GuoH-1].H20 allows assignment of structures for these ambidentate ligand complexes. Deprotonation of N1 of Guo leads to coordination of RHg(II) at N1 in RHg(GuoH-1) and to both N1 and N7 in [(RHg)2GuoH-l]N03. The complexes [RHg(Guo)]N03 have RHg(II) bonded at N7 of the guanine base. Phenylmercuric hydroxide reacts with thymidine (dThd) in aqueous ethanol to form PhHg(dThdH-1).H20 with PhHg(II) bonded to N3 after deprotonation of dThd. Structures deduced for these solid complexes are in agreement with those suggested in earlier ultraviolet and Raman studies of the interaction of nucleosides and nucleotides with MeHg(II) in aqueous solution.

Comparison of infrared spectra of the solid complexes and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the complexes in dimethyl-d6 sulfoxide with spectra of Guo, [GuoH]N03, and Na[GuoH-1].H20 allows assignment of structures for these ambidentate ligand complexes. Deprotonation of N1 of Guo leads to coordination of RHg(II) at N1 in RHg(GuoH-1) and to both N1 and N7 in [(RHg)2GuoH-l]N03. The complexes [RHg(Guo)]N03 have RHg(II) bonded at N7 of the guanine base. Phenylmercuric hydroxide reacts with thymidine (dThd) in aqueous ethanol to form PhHg(dThdH-1).H20 with PhHg(II) bonded to N3 after deprotonation of dThd. Structures deduced for these solid complexes are in agreement with those suggested in earlier ultraviolet and Raman studies of the interaction of nucleosides and nucleotides with MeHg(II) in aqueous solution. The uses and limitations of vibrational spectra in assigning structures to such metal nucleoside complexes are outlined.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" border="0" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/250204.html">250000 Chemical Sciences > 250200 Inorganic Chemistry > 250204 Bioinorganic Chemistry</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">2861</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">Prof Allan J Canty</span></span></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited On:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">14 Jan 2008 13:55</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Last Modified:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">14 Jan 2008 13:55</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ePrint Statistics:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a target="ePrintStats" href="/es/index.php?action=show_detail_eprint;id=2861;">View statistics for this ePrint</a></td></tr></table><p align="right">Repository Staff Only: <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/cgi/users/home?screen=EPrint::View&eprintid=2861">item control page</a></p> </td></tr></table> </div> <!-- InstanceEndEditable --></td> </tr> <tr> <td><!-- #BeginLibraryItem "/Library/footer_eprints.lbi" --> <table width="795" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="0" class="footer"> <tr valign="top"> <td colspan="2"><div align="center"><a href="http://www.utas.edu.au">UTAS home</a> | <a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/library/">Library home</a> | <a href="/">ePrints home</a> | <a href="/contact.html">contact</a> | <a href="/information.html">about</a> | <a href="/view/">browse</a> | <a href="/perl/search/simple">search</a> | <a href="/perl/register">register</a> | <a href="/perl/users/home">user area</a> | <a href="/help/">help</a></div><br /></td> </tr> <tr><td colspan="2"><p><img src="/images/eprints/footerline.gif" width="100%" height="4" /></p></td></tr> <tr valign="top"> <td width="68%" class="footer">Authorised by the University Librarian<br /> © University of Tasmania ABN 30 764 374 782<br /> <a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/cricos/">CRICOS Provider Code 00586B</a> | <a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/copyright/copyright_disclaimers.html">Copyright & Disclaimers</a> | <a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/accessibility/index.html">Accessibility</a> | <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/feedback/">Site Feedback</a> </td> <td width="32%"><div align="right"> <p align="right" class="NoPrint"><a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/"><img src="http://www.utas.edu.au/shared/logos/unioftasstrip.gif" alt="University of Tasmania Home Page" width="260" height="16" border="0" align="right" /></a></p> <p align="right" class="NoPrint"><a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/"><br /> </a></p> </div></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td><p> </p></td> <td><div align="right"><span class="NoPrint"><a href="http://www.eprints.org/software/"><img src="/images/eprintslogo.gif" alt="ePrints logo" width="77" height="29" border="0" align="bottom" /></a></span></div></td> </tr> </table> <!-- #EndLibraryItem --> <div align="center"></div></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
