Abstract
Pt-Pt interactions are able to fold a flexible dinucleotide chain, promoting nucleobase stacking. In their Research Article, M. Gómez-Gallego, M. A. Sierra, and co-workers report the molecular structures of cyclometallated PtII purine dinucleotides as chiral helices sustained by Pt−Pt intramolecular interactions. These interactions force the purine nucleobases to stand parallel, as parallel are the four towers of Madrid city, in which the reported compounds have been made. The Pt−Pt interactions can be detected in solution by the appearance of the characteristic MMLCT transitions in the UV/Vis spectra. The authors would like to thank Pablo García-Álvarez for creating the cover artwork.
铂-铂相互作用能够折叠灵活的二核苷酸链,促进核碱基堆叠。在他们的研究文章中,M. Gómez-Gallego, M. A. Sierra 及其合作者报告了环金属化铂Ⅱ嘌呤二核苷酸的分子结构,即通过铂-铂分子内相互作用维持的手性螺旋。这些相互作用迫使嘌呤核碱基平行站立,就像马德里市的四座塔一样平行,报告中的化合物就是在这种作用下制成的。在溶液中,可以通过紫外/可见光谱中出现的特征性 MMLCT 转变来检测铂铂相互作用。作者感谢 Pablo García-Álvarez 创作封面插图。
