Title: Bioorganometallic Chemistry, Part 15. A novel molecular recognition process of host, trans-[Cp*Rh({eta}{sup 1}(N3)-1-methylcytosine)({mu}-OH)]{sub 2} (OTf){sub 2}, with l-aromatic amino acid guests: selective hydrogen bonding to the {mu}-OH groups and the 1-methylcytosine ligands

The {sup 1}H-NMR and computer docking experiments have elucidated a novel molecular recognition process of host, trans-[Cp*Rh({eta}{sup 1}(Ne)-1-methylcytosine)({mu}-OH)]{sub 2}(OTf){sub 2} (1), with L-aromatic amino acids, which is predicated on a selective hydrogen bonding regime of the NH{sub 3}{sup +} of the amino acid to one of the Rh-{mu}-OH groups, as well as to a C{double_bond}O group of one of the other 1-methycytosine ligands, while the COO{sup -} H-bonds to an NH{sub 2} of the other 1-methycytosine ligand.
