Synthesis and characterization of Ni(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes of 2,4-diamino-5-(3, 4, 5-trimethoxybenzyl) pyrimidine complexes

摘要

The Ni(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes of 2,4-diamino-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl)pyrimidine (trimethoprim) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, electronic and IR spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The single-crystal X-ray structure of the Ni(II) complex is reported. Ni(II) is coordinated to the N(1) atoms of two trimethoprim molecules that act as monodentates. Octahedral coordination around the nickel atom is completed by coordination to two molecules of methanol and two acetate ions. Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes are square planar and the metal ions coordinate one molecule of trimethoprim, two chloride ions and a molecule of water.
