The reaction of D-mannose and D-allose with [PtMe 3 (Me 2 CO) 3 ]BF 4 1 in acetone affords complexes [PtMe 3 L]BF 4 5 and 6 (5, L) R-D-mannofuranose; 6, L)-D-allofuranose). The coordination mode and conformation of the carbohydrate ligands in 5 and 6 in acetone-d 6 have been determined from an analysis of J HH , J CH , and J CC in complexes formed using site-specific 13 C-labeled D-mannose and D-allose. These coupling data are compared to those measured in 13 C-labeled complex [PtMe 3 L]BF 4 2 (L) 1,2-O-isopropylidene-R-D-glucofuranose) and 1,2-O-isopropylidene-R-D-glucofuranose 3, whose solid-state structures are known, and in 13 C-labeled 1,2;5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-R-D-glucofuranose 4. The preferred furanose ring conformations in 2 and 5 are very similar (3 E/E 4 and E 4 / o E/E 1 , respectively; eastern hemisphere of the pseudorotational itinerary), with platinum coordination involving O3, O5, and O6 of the saccharide. In contrast, the furanose ring of 6 prefers an 4 E/E o / 1 E geometry (western hemisphere of the pseudorotational itinerary) resulting from altered complexation involving O1, O5, and O6. Couplings within the exocyclic fragments of 2, 5, and 6 also support the existence of two different platinum coordination modes. In addition to establishing the structures and conformations of 2, 5, and 6 in solution, one-, two-, and three-bond J CH and J CC observed in these complexes provide new insights into the effect of structure and conformation on the magnitudes of these couplings in saccharides. Weak platinum(IV) complexation with the carbohydrate conformationally restricts the furanose and exocyclic fragment without introducing undesirable structural strain, thereby allowing more reliable correlations between structure and coupling magnitude.
