Tetraphenylborate salts of the 1 : 2 tetrahedral bis(bidentate) complexes of copper(i), silver(i), and gold(i) with cis-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethene (dppey), [M(Ph2PCH=CHPPh2)2]BPh4, cis-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), and cis-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp), [M(Ph2P–R–PPh2)2]BPh4 (R = (CH2)2, (CH2)3), have been prepared and characterized by NMR spectroscopy, electrospray mass spectrometry, and single crystal X-ray structural analysis at 200 K. Structures of the dppey complexes as acetone solvates show the Cu and Ag complexes to be isostructural with the previously reported Au complex, crystallizing in space group P 21/n with a ~ 25.5, b ~ 15.6, and c ~ 34.2 Å, and β ~ 103°. Structures of the dppe complexes show the copper complex to crystallize in the chiral space group P21 with a 11.8954(5), b 20.1904(5), and c 14.8999(5) Å, and β 111.366(5)°. The Ag and Au complexes are isostructural, crystallizing in space group P21/c with a ~ 17.8, b ~ 17.6, and c ~ 20.9 Å, and β ~ 107°. Structures of the dppp complexes show the copper complex to crystallize in space group P21/c with a 17.8399(4), b 19.8803(4), and c 18.7165(3) Å, and β 102.197(2)°. The Ag and Au complexes are isostructural, crystallizing in space group P21/n with a ~ 17.7, b ~ 18.6, and c ~ 19.6 Å, and β ~ 100°. Across the three series of complexes, the M–P bond lengths increase in the order Cu < Au < Ag with Cu–P = 2.281(3)–2.314(1) Å, average 2.30(1) Å; Au–P = 2.363(1)–2.4322(8) Å, average 2.40(2) Å, and Ag–P = 2.445(1)–2.5303(5) Å average 2.49(2) Å.

The monosaccharide D-arabinopyranose has only been found in glycoconjugates of the trypanosomatid parasites Leishmania major, Endotrypanum schaudinni and Crithidia fasciculata. The donor molecule for the relevant arabinosyltransferases is known to be GDP-α-D-Arap in L. major and C. fasciculata, and the latter organism is being used to study the biosynthesis of GDP-α-D-Arap. In this study, we describe the structure of the terminal product of arabinose metabolism in C. fasciculata, namely lipoarabinogalactan. This molecule was purified by hydrophobic-interaction chromatography and studied by a variety of techniques, including gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, electrospray mass spectrometry and chemical and enzymic digestions. These data show that lipoarabinogalactan contains a previously described D-arabino-D-galactan polysaccharide component covalently attached to a glycosylphosphatidylinositol type of membrane anchor that is similar to, but not identical with, that found in the lipophosphoglycans of the Leishmania.
