Abstract/Artist Statement
It has been shown that dinuclear metal carboxylate compounds display antitumor activity; however, the mode of activity is poorly understood. This study involves compounds with a core comprised of two Re(III) metal atoms bridged by cis-carboxylate ligands. This core interacts with the purine nucleobase derivative 9-ethyladenine (9-EtAH) to give compounds that exhibit binding modes that model the binding of dinuclear metal compounds with DNA. Characterization of a recently synthesized dirhenium compound with the proposed formula, Re2(O2CCH3) 2(9EtAH) 2Cl4 will be presented. Also, the preliminary results of the reactions of Re2(02CCH3)2Cl4 with 1,4,7-triazacyclononane and 9-ethyladenine will be discussed.
