The first structurally characterized coordination compounds with homocysteine
d-Homocysteine (d-H2hcys) coordinates to CoIII center in a tridentate-N,O,S mode to form trans(N)-[Co(d-hcys)2]−, which binds to PdII center to produce an S-bridged CoIII2PdII complex with two trans(N)-[Co(d-hcys)2]−units. The use of racemic d/l-H2hcys leads to the selective isolation of an analogous CoIII2PdII complex with trans(N)-[Co(d-hcys)2]− and trans(N)-[Co(l-hcys)2]− units.
