In crystals of complexes of thermine and d(CGCGCG)2 molecules grown at 4, 10, and 20 degrees C, the numbers of thermine molecules connected to the DNA molecule were dependent on the temperature of the crystallization. Two molecules of thermine and one Mg2+ ion were connected to DNA molecule when thermine and d(CGCGCG)2 were co-crystallized at 4 and at 20 degrees C. When an increased concentration of magnesium and thermine molecules were co-crystallized with d(CGCGCG)2 molecules at 10 degrees C, three Mg2+ ions and only one thermine molecule were bound with a d(CGCGCG)2 molecule.

There are many great reports of polyamine stabilization of the Z-DNA by bridge conformation between neighboring, symmetry-related Z-DNA in the packing of crystals. However, polyamine binding to the minor groove of Z-DNA and stabilizing the Z-DNA structure has been rarely reported. We proved that the synthesized polyamines bind to the minor groove of Z-DNA and stabilize the conformation under various conditions, by X-ray crystallographic study.

The crystal structures of the series of three complexes, [Cu(Gly)(bpy)Cl].2H2O (1) (Gly=glycine; bpy=2,2'-bipyridine), [Cu(Gly)(phen)Cl]2.7H2O (2) (phen=1,10-phenanthroline), and [Cu(Gly)(bpa)(H2O)Cl] (3) (bpa=2,2'-bipyridylamine) were determined, and the coordination modes of Cu(II) ternary complexes were compared.

Both title compounds are polynuclear polymeric complexes with binuclear units. In the former compound, [Ag2(C8H7O2)2(C10H9N3)]n, the two Ag(I) atoms display distorted square-planar coordinations. This compound contains a twofold axis and a crystallographic inversion centre, and di-2-pyridylamine (DPA) ligands crosslink adjacent binuclear units to form infinite polymeric chains.

It is known that the crystal structure of d(CG)3 become left-handed Z-DNA under high salt concentration and various polyamines stabilize the Z-DNA structure. We have structurally investigated how polyamines stabilize the Z-DNA by the X-ray crystallographic analysis of d(CG)3-polyamine cocrystals. In this study, we determined the Z-DNA structures with di- to pentavalent polyamines at high resolution.

We clarified stabilization mechanism of left-handed Z-DNA by X-ray crystal structure analysis. I was able to achieve it by burying big minor groove of Z-DNA because metal ion and polyamine connected it to minor groove of Z-DNA. On that occasion I understood that an electric charge and length of polyamine gave big influence to a combination brain very much.

We succeeded in x-ray crystal analysis of d(CG)3 with N1-{2-[(2-amino-ethylamino)-ethylamino]-ethyl}-ethane-1,2-diamine complex at three conditions (1: room temperature 2: low temperature 3: highly salt condition). At room temperature two polyamines took extended form and bound to minor groove of d(CG)3, at low temperature two polyamines took U-shape form and lied in minor groove of d(CG)3, at highly salt condition two polyamines took fishhook form and one polyamine lied in upper side of minor groove and the other polyamine lied in down side of minor groove of d(CG)3.

The crystal structures of a series of three palladium(II) ternary complexes of 5-halogeno-2-aminobenzoic acid (5-X-AB, where X=Cl, Br and I) with 1,10-phenanthroline [Pd(5-Cl-AB)(phen)] (1), [Pd(5-Br-AB)(phen)] (2) and [Pd(5-I-AB)(phen)] (3) have been determined, and their coordination geometries and the crystal architecture characterized. All of the complexes are an isostructure in which each Pd(II) atom has basically similar square planar coordination geometry. The substitute halogen group at 5-position of AB plays an important role in producing the coordination bonds of the carboxylate and amino groups in which the carboxylate O atom and the amino N atom act as the negative monodentate ligand atoms.

In the three title complexes, namely (2,2'-biquinoline-kappa(2)N,N')dichloropalladium(II), [PdCl2(C18H12N2)], (I), and the corresponding copper(II), [CuCl2(C18H12N2)], (II), and zinc(II) complexes, [ZnCl2(C18H12N2)], (III), each metal atom is four-coordinate and bonded by two N atoms of a 2,2'-biquinoline molecule and two Cl atoms. The Pd(II) atom has a distorted cis-square-planar coordination geometry, whereas the Cu(II) and Zn(II) atoms both have a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The dihedral angles between the N-M-N and Cl-M-Cl planes are 14.

The crystal structures of the title complexes, namely trans-bis(isoquinoline-3-carboxylato-kappa2N,O)bis(methanol-kappaO)cobalt(II), [Co(C10H6NO2)2(CH3OH)2], and the corresponding nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes, [Ni(C10H6NO2)2(CH3OH)2] and [Cu(C10H6NO2)2(CH3OH)2], are isomorphous and contain metal ions at centres of inversion. The three compounds have the same distorted octahedral coordination geometry, and each metal ion is bonded by two quinoline N atoms, two carboxylate O atoms and two methanol O atoms. Two isoquinoline-3-carboxylate ligands lie in trans positions, forming the equatorial plane, and the two methanol ligands occupy the axial positions.

In the title compounds, [Pd(C(10)H(6)O(2))(C(10)H(8)N(2))], (I), and [Pd(C(10)H(6)O(2))(C(18)H(12)N(2))], (II), each Pd(II) atom has a similar distorted cis-planar four-coordination geometry involving two O atoms of the 2,3-naphthalenediolate dianion and two N atoms of the 2,2'-bipyridine or 2,2'-biquinoline ligand. The overall structure of (I) is essentially planar, but that of (II) is not, as a result of intramolecular overcrowding leading to bowing of the biquinoline ligand.
