Abstract

Upon hemideprotonation of 8-bromoguanosine (8-BrG) at the N1 position, induced by DBU, the adduct [8-BrG][8-BrG]-[DBU--H]+ was formed. Slow evaporation of the 8-BrG methanol solution, in the presence of 0.5 equiv of DBU, yielded two polymorphic structures (1 and 2), where a neutral [8-BrG] (A) and N1 deprotonated, anionic 8-bromoguanosine [8-BrG]- (B) were joined together through three intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving O6, N1 and C2--NH2 sites. Such pairing gave planar GG- dimers as the basic motif of crystal packing in both polymorphs. Both neutral and deprotonated guanosine molecules in the structure of 1 had the ribose units in a syn conformation. In the structure of polymorph 2, the N1 deprotonated guanosine molecule (B) retained the syn glycosidic conformation, while the nondeprotonated guanosine molecule (A) adopted the natural anti conformation of the ribose unit with respect to the nucleobase. Ribose rings revealed different puckering; only those of deprotonated molecules 1B and 2B possessed the usual C2'-endo envelope conformation. Crystal packing in both structures was guided by the highly complex H-bonded pattern. The CSD was searched for related structures, which are discussed with reference to polymorphs 1 and 2. 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic evidence is provided showing that the three H-bonded adduct [8-BrG][8-BrG]-[DBU--H]+ was also formed in the highly Hbond competitive DMSO solution.
