Abstract: | Four metal‐ion‐binding nucleosides, viz. 2,6‐bis(1‐methylhydrazinyl)‐9‐(β‐D ‐ribofuranosyl)‐9H‐purine ( 2a ) and its N‐acetylated derivative, 2b , 2,4‐bis(3,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐1‐yl)‐5‐(β‐D ‐ribofuranosyl)pyrimidine ( 3 ), and 2,4‐bis(1‐methylhydrazinyl)‐5‐(β‐D ‐ribofuranosyl)pyrimidine ( 4 ) have been synthesized. The ability of these nucleosides and the previously prepared 2,6‐bis(3,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐1‐yl)‐9‐(β‐D ‐ribofuranosyl)‐9H‐purine to form Pd2+‐ and Hg2+‐mediated complexes with uridine has been studied by 1H‐NMR spectroscopy. To obtain additional support for the interpretation of the NMR data, comparative measurements on the ternary‐complex formation between pyridine‐2,6‐dicarboxamide ( 5 ), pyrimidine nucleosides, and K2PdCl4 were carried out. |
