Steric Aspects of the Binding of Monofunctional Platinum(II) Complexes to Sites on Nucleobases: Metal Complex “Flatness” as a Structural Element of Speciation

Abstract

Through the use of an established repulsive energy methodology, the endocyclic nitrogens of the common nucleobases have been probed by monofunctional PtII(A)3 moieties, where A ≡ NH3 and (A)3 ≡ die...
