Coordination Chemistry of 6-Thioguanine Derivatives with Cobalt: Toward Formation of Electrical Conductive One-Dimensional Coordination Polymers
In this work we have synthetized and characterized by X-ray diffraction five cobalt complexes with 6-thioguanine (6-ThioGH), 6-thioguanosine (6-ThioGuoH), or 2'-deoxy-6-thioguanosine (2'-d-6-ThioGuoH) ligands. In all cases, these ligands coordinate to cobalt via N7 and S6 forming a chelate ring. However, independently of reagents ratio, 6-ThioGH provided monodimensional cobalt(II) coordination polymers, in which the 6-ThioG(-) acts as bridging ligand. However, for 2'-d-6-ThioGuoH and 6-ThioGuoH, the structure directing effect of the sugar residue gives rise to mononuclear cobalt complexes which form extensive H-bond interactions to generate 3D supramolecular networks. Furthermore, with 2'-d…

Conductive nanostructures of MMX chains
Crystals of [Pt-2(n-pentylCS(2))(4)I] show a transition from semiconductor to metallic with the increase of the temperature (conductivity is 0.3-1.4 S.cm(-1) at room temperature) and a second metallic metallic transition at 330 K, inferred by electrical conductivity measurements. X-ray diffraction studies carried out at different temperatures (100, 298, and 350 K) confirm the presence of three different phases. The valence-ordering of these phases is analyzed using structural, magnetic, and electrical data. Density functional theory calculations allow a further analysis of the band structure derived for each phase. Nanostructures adsorbed on an insulating surface show electrical conductivit…
