Abstract: | The crystal structure of a complex of terbium(III) with quinizarine 2-sulfonate has been solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The metal cation is coordinated by two adjacent phenolate and quinone oxygens of the anthraquinone moiety of a quinizarine sulfonate anion and by six water molecules. To our knowledge, this is the first structure of a metal complex of the 1,4-dihydroxy anthraquinone ligand. On the basis of strict similarities in the spectroscopic features of the terbium adducts with either doxorubicin or quinizarine 2-sulfonate, the present structure is proposed as a model for the metal complexes of anthracyclines. |
