Synthesis and interaction of adenosine-5′-triphosphate with rare earth metal europium (Eu3+)

Lanthanides and nucleotides can form attractive organic coordination polymers. Our study explore about the reaction of adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) with europium(Eu3+) and study its bonding characteristics through the FT-IR spectrum and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results showed that the Eu(III) complex with adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) was successfully synthesized and could interact in oxygen atoms from the phosphate group and nitrogen atoms from the adenine base with the highest absorption at the ATP:Eu3+ ratio of 1:2.
