The photoreactions of cis- and trans-[CrCl2(en)2]+ have been investigated in acidic aqueous solution at pH 3 and 0 °C. On photolysis in the ligand field bands the cis isomer was found to undergo mainly ethylenediamine aquation, apparently to a thermally unstable monodentate protonated ethylenediamine complex, with a quantum yield of 0.13. In addition chloride aquation occurred with[Formula: see text]. In contrast, the trans isomer underwent exclusive chloride aquation with quantum yield 0.32. The results are qualitatively, but not quantitatively, in agreement with predictions of Adamson's empirical rules. It was found that for trans-[CrCl2(en)2]+ photolysis, the reaction product [CrCl(H2O)(en)2]2+ was produced at least 70% in the cis configuration.

NMR was used to investigate the reaction of cis- and trans-[RuCl2(DMSO)4] with the antiviral drug acyclovir, a guanine derivative containing the acyclic (2-hydroxo) ethoxymethyl pendant linked to N(9). Studies were performed in aqueous solutions at ambient temperature and at 37 °C, and at various molar ratios. Both isomers yielded two compounds, a monoadduct and a bisadduct, the relative yields being dependent upon the metal to ligand concentration ratios. The products derived from the two Ru isomers displayed identical NMR spectra, suggesting that they have the same coordination environment, however the rate of formation of the monoadduct was higher in the case of the trans isomer than in the case of the cis isomer, while the rate of conversion of the monoadduct into the bisadduct appeared to be similar in both cases. As a consequence in the case of the trans isomer there is accumulation of monoadduct in the early stage of the reaction, whose concentration afterwards decreases with the progress of the reaction. As for platinum, also for ruthenium the preferred binding site is N(7) of the purine base, however, in the case of ruthenium a discrete amount of bisadduct is formed even in the presence of an excess of metallic substrate with respect to the acyclovir ligand; under similar conditions a platinum substrate would have given, nearly exclusively, the monoadduct.

The cyano group effect on diastereoselectivity is studied through the reduction of cis and trans 3-R 4-cyano cyclohexanones with NaBH4; the diastereoselectivity (zero for R = H) is 74 and 62% respectively (R = CH3) and 74 and 50% (R = (CH3)3C), the more stable isomer being always the major one. These stereoselectivities are rationalized from the experimental values of free enthalpy between conformers and from the diastereoselectivities of the 3-t-butyl (and 4-t-butyl) cyclohexanones, cis 3,5-dimethyl and 3,3,5-trimethyl cyclohexanones, without taking account of a cyano group specific effect. The decrease in diastereoselectivity for R = (CH3)3C (trans isomer) is associated with deformation induced by steric strain between the substituents.

cis-[PtCl2(15NH3)(c-C6H11NH2)] is an active metabolite of the oral platinum(IV) anticancer drug cis,trans,cis-[PtCl2(CH3CO2)2(NH2)(c-C6H11NH2)]. Since it is likely that guanine bases on DNA are targets for this drug, we have analysed the kinetics of reaction of this platinum(II) metabolite with guanosine 5′-monophosphate (5′-GMP) at 310 K, pH 7, using [1H, 15N] n.m.r. methods. Reactions of the trans isomer are reported for comparison. The reactions proceed via aquated intermediates, and, for the cis isomer, the rates of aquation and substitution of H2O by 5′-GMP are 2-5 times faster trans to the amine ligand (c-C6H11NH2) compared to trans to NH3 for both the first and second steps. For the trans complex, the first aquation step is c. 3 times faster than for the cis complex, as expected from the higher trans influence of Cl¯, whereas the rate of the second aquation step (trans to N7 of 5′-GMP) is comparable to that trans to NH3. These findings have implications for the courses of reactions with DNA.

The reaction of TeClF5 with CH3OH, and CH3OSiMe3, leads to a mixture of cis- and trans-(CH3O)TeClF4 in a ratio of 1:6, as well as some unidentified Te(IV) product. The vibrational spectrum of the 1:6 mixture of cis- and trans-(CH3O)TeClF4 was accounted for on the basis of the predominant pseudo-C4vtrans isomer. TeClF5 is unreactive towards anhydrous HF, SbF5, AlCl3, SO2, F2, and ClF at room temperature. Over the temperature range 70–250 °C it thermally decomposes to TeF6, TeF4, and Cl2. It slowly reacts with CsF to form CsTeF5, TeF6, Cl2, and small amounts of ClF, and with HNMe2 it is also reduced to form TeF4•HNMe2.
