Abstract
The interaction of gold(I) thiomalate (Autm) ('Myochrysine') with 2-thiouracil (2-TUH) has been studied in aqueous solution by 13C NMR spectroscopy. 2-TUH is in slow exchange at a 1:1 ratio of Autm:2-TU, but at higher ratios, fast exchange occurs with the tm- of Autm. No free tm-13C NMR resonances were observed. When L-cysteine and CN- were added sequentially to the 1:3 ratio of Autm:2-TU solution, the cysteine did not remove 2-TUH from the complexed 2-TU-Autm, however, CN- bound strongly to Au(I) forming Au(CN)2- and released 2-TUH and tm- as free ligands.
