Title: Preparation and configurational analysis of the stereoisomers of /beta/,/gamma/-bidentate Rh(H/sub 2/O)/sub 4/ATP and /alpha/,/beta/,/gamma/-tridentate Rh(H/sub 2/O)/sub 3/ATP. A new class of enzyme active site probes

Exchange-inert Co(III) and Cr(III) complexes of polyphosphates have proved to be useful probes of the structural and biochemical properties of naturally occurring Mg/sup II/(polyphosphate) complexes. However, applications of these complexes are not without limitations. The Cr/sup III/(polyphosphate) probes or their enzymatic products cannot be used in NMR methods because of the paramagnetic nature of the Cr(III) metal. The redox properties of the metal in the Co/sup III/(polyphosphate) complexes require that they also be coordinated to a nitrogen-containing ligand. This requirement is not always convenient. This work reported herein was undertaken to create a new class of exchange-inert metal polyphosphate complexes that contain a metal that is both diamagnetic and redox stable. The preparation, properties, and configurational analysis of the stereoisomers of /beta/, /gamma/-bidentate Rh(H/sub 2/O)/sub 4/ATP (ATP = adenosine 5'-triphosphate) and /alpha/,/beta/,/gamma/-tridentate Rh(H/sub 2/O)/sub 3/ATP are described. 12 refs., 5 figs.
