Abstract
Abstract The preparation and spectral properties are reported of a range of complexes of 9-methylhypoxanthine (= 9Mehyp) with divalent metal ions of the series MnZn, and also Cd and Hg(II). With the transition metal ions the compounds mostly contained a 2:1 9Mehyp:metal ratio, but the complexes Cu(9Mehyp) 4 (NO 3 ) 2 ·H 2 O and Cu(9Mehyp) 4 (CIO 4 ) 2 were also isolated. With zinc, tetrahedral complexes [Zn(9mehyp)(OH 2 X 2 ] (X=Cl or Br) were obtained, but mercury(II) chloride and bromide gave the compounds [Hg(9mehyp)X 2 ] in which planar HgNX 2 units are interconnected by long, axial HgX bonds.
