Mono(nucleobase) complexes of the general composition cis-[PtCl2(NH3)L] with L=1 methylcytosine, 1-MeC (1a) and L=1-ethyl-5-methylcytosine, as well as trans-[PtX2(NH3)(1-MeC)] with X=1 (5 a) and X= Br (5 b) have been isolated and were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The Pt coordination occurs through the N3 atom of the cytosine in all cases. The diaqua complexes of compounds 1 a and 5a, cis-Bpt(H2O)(2)(NH3)(1-MeC)(2+) and trans-[Pt(H2O)(2)(NH3)(1-MeC)(2+), display a rich chemistry in aqueous solution, which is dominated by extensive condensation reactions leading to mu-OH- and mu-(1-MeC--N3,N4)-bridged spedes and ready oxidation of Pt to mixed-valence state complexes as well as diplatinum(III) compounds, one of which was characterized by X-ray crystallography: h,t-[{Pt(NH3)(2)(OH)(1-MeC--N3,N4)}(2)](NO3)(2)center dot 2[NH4](NO3)center dot 2 H2O. A combination of H-1 NMR spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry was applied to identify some of the various species present in solution and the gas phase, respectively. As it turned out, mass spectrometry did not permit an unambiguous assignment of the structures of 1 cations due to the possibilities of realizing multiple bridging patterns in isomeric species, the occurrence of different tautomers, and uncertainties regarding the Pt oxidation states. Additionally, compound 1 a was found to have selective and moderate anti proliferative activity for a human cervix cancer line (SISO) compared to six other human cancer cell lines.
