Abstract
The interaction of the La(III) and Tb(III) ions with adenosine-5′-monophosphate (5′-AMP), guanosine-5′-monophosphate (5′-GMP), and 2′-deoxyguanosine-5′-monophosphate (5′-dGMP) anions with metal/nucleotide ratios of 1 and 2 has been studied in aqueous solution in acidic and neutral pHs. The solid complexes were isolated and characterized by Fourier transform ir and 1H-nmr spectroscopy. The lanthanide(III)–nucleotide complexes are polymeric in nature both in the solid and aqueous solutions. In the metal-nucleotide complexes isolated from acidic solution, the nucleotide binding is via the phosphate group (inner sphere) and an indirect metal-N-7 interaction (outer-sphere) with the adenine N-1 site protonated. In the complexes obtained from neutral solution, metal chelation through the N-7 and the PO group is prevailing. In aqueous solution, an equilibrium between the inner and outer sphere metal-nucleotide interaction has been observed. The ribose moiety shows C2′-endo/anti pucker in the free AMP anion and in the lanthanide(III)–AMP complexes, whereas the GMP anion with C2′-endo/anti sugar conformation exhibits a mixture of the C2′-endo/anti and C3′-endo/anti sugar puckers in the lanthanide(III)–GMP salts. The deoxyribose has O4′-endo/anti sugar pucker in the free dGMP anion and a C3′-endo/anti, in the lanthanide (III)–dGMP complexes.
