Metal-nucleobase interactions: Interplay of coordination and hydrogen bonding in cadmium (II) complexes of N6-substituted adenines

The X-ray crystal structures of 1 [Cd2(BAD+)2(μ-Cl)4Cl2]n (BAD+ = N3 protonated N6-benzyladenine)] and 2 [Cd2(FAD+)2(μ-Cl)4Cl2]n (FAD+ = N3 protonated N6-furfuryladenine) reveal an one-dimensional polymer.
