Hydrolysis of Methionine- and Histidine-Containing Peptides Promoted by Dinuclear Platinum(II) Complexes with Benzodiazines as Bridging Ligands: Influence of Ligand Structure on the Catalytic Ability of Platinum(II) Complexes

Figure 1

Schematic drawing of the N-heterocycles used in this study (a) and the structures of dinuclear platinum(II) complexes 1–3 calculated at the M06-2X(PCM)/cc-pVTZ+LanL2TZ(f) level of theory. The numbering scheme of carbon atoms in N-heterocycles is in agreement with IUPAC recommendations for the fused ring system and does not match the one applied in the X-ray study of 1.
