Interaction of adenosine, guanosine and inosine with ruthenium hydride complexes

Abstract

Complexes of adenosine, guanosine and inosine with some ruthenium hydride complexes have been prepared and studied by UV, visible, IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopies. The ligands have been found to coordinate through their exocyclic groups and the N(7) atom to the RuHCl(PPh 3)3 unit and through only exocyclic groups to the RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3unit.
