Amidino ligands obtained from the coupling of 1-methylcytosine and nitrile: a new method to incorporate biomolecules into luminescent Re(CO)3 complexes

Dalton Trans. 2015 Oct 28;44(40):17478-81. doi: 10.1039/c5dt03221k. Epub 2015 Sep 25.

Abstract

The formation of an amidino chelating ligand from the coupling reaction of 1-methylcytosine and nitrile is a new method herein reported for the incorporation of biologically relevant substrates into rhenium(i) tricarbonyl complexes. The reactions are carried out thermally or are microwave assisted.
