Investigação teórica do mecanismo de ação de compostos binucleares de platina(II)

Abstract

In this work, theoretical methods were used to describe the action mechanism of binuclear platinum(II) complexes named 1,1/c,c and 1,1/t,t. Initially, the influence of the conformational arrangement of the diamine chain on the stability of binuclear complex was elucidated, through the construction of a new topological parameter called distortion degree λ. In order to create the λ parameter, were performed a conformational search at PM3 level of theory using Monte Carlo (MC) method only for the ligand of these binuclear complexes, the 1,6-hexanediamine molecule. The λ parameter linearly correlates with the PM3 energy of the conformers, increasing its value, as the total energy decreases. The λ parameter has a strong correlation with the relative energies in gas phase ( ) and aqueous phase ( ) after the inclusion of the metallic coordination sphere of the 1,1/c,c and 1,1/t,t complexes in some specific conformations. Subsequent optimization has been carried out at DFT approach with the B3LYP functional and the 6-31+G(d,p) Pople’s basis set for all atoms, except for platinum, which was treated with LANL2DZ pseudopotential. The hydrolysis reaction of 1,1/c,c and 1,1/t,t complexes were studied in gas phase at B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)/LANL2DZ level and in aqueous phase with the PCM/UAHF and PCM/Bondi model. The calculated rate constants for the forward reaction in aqueous phase lead to values very close to those experimentally resolute, which are about 10-5s-1 for the 1,1/c,c and 1,1/t,t complexes. During this study the influence of conformation on the first hydrolysis barrier of 1,1/c,c complex were also evaluated, showing that some conformations, which at the first moment were considerable unstable, can generate lower reaction barriers than the most stable conformations. The coordination mechanism of 1,1/c,c complex with guanine in gas and aqueous phase at the same level of theory used during the hydrolysis step were also studied and compared with literature.
