Complex formation reactions of palladium(II)-1,3-diaminopropane with various biologically relevant ligands. Kinetics of hydrolysis of glycine methyl ester through complex formation

The interaction of [Pd(DAP)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ (DAP = 1,3-diaminopropane) with some selected bio-relevant ligands, containing different functional groups, were investigated. The ligands used are dicarboxylic acids, amino acids, peptides and DNA constituents. Stoichiometry and stability constants of the complexes formed are reported at 25°C and 0.1 M ionic strength. The results show the formation of 1:1 complexes with amino acids and dicarboxylic acids. The effect of chelate ring size of the dicarboxylic acid complexes on their stability constants is examined. Peptides form both 1:1 complexes and the corresponding deprotonated amide species. DNA constituents form 1:1 and 1:2 complexes. The effect of dioxane on the acid dissociation constants of CBDCA and the formation constant of its complex with Pd(DAP)²⁺ was reported. The kinetics of hydrolysis of glycine methyl ester bound to [Pd(DAP)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ was studied at 25°C and 0.1M ionic strength.      

Determination of the thermodynamic parameters and stability constants of UO2(2+), Th4+, and Ce3+ complexes with some azo-benzene-N-malonic acid derivatives

Proton-ligand dissociation and metal-ligand formation constants of azobenzene-N-malonic acid (I), p-Cl-azobenzene-N-malonic acid (II), p-Br-azobenzene-N-malonic acid (III) and p-COOH- azobenzene-N-malonic acid (IV) with UO2(2+), Th4+ and Ce3+ were evaluated potentiometrically using Bjerrum's method at 25, 35 and 45 +/- 0.5 degrees C and ionic strength 0.1 M in 40% v/v ethanol-water medium. The order of stability constants was found to be Ce3+ > Th4+ > UO2(2+). The effect of temperature on the dissociation and stability constants of the formed complexes was studied and the corresponding thermodynamic functions were derived and discussed. The ratio of metal-ligand was determined conductometrically. The structure of the ligands under investigation as well as their metal complexes has been elucidated by elemental analysis, IR and 1HNMR spectroscopy.     

Potentiometric and thermodynamic studies of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-{p-[N-(pyrimidin-2-yl)-sulfamoyl]phenylazo}-2-pyrazolin-5-one and its metal complexes

Coordination properties of dehydroacetic acid – binary and ternary complexes

Complex formation equilibria of dehydroacetic acid with Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Mn²⁺ and the ternary complexes involving Cu²⁺, dehydroacetic acid and some amino acids containing different functional groups are investigated. Stoichiometry and stability constants for the complexes are estimated at 25°C and 0.1 M ionic strength in 25% dioxane-water mixtures.

Thermodynamic studies of alkaline-earth-metal cation complexation by lipophilic dioxa,trioxa, and dithia dicarboxylic acids

Five new lipophilic dicarboxylic acids with systematic structural variation in the bridge which joins the two lipophilic carboxylic acid units have been synthesized. Potentiometric equilibrium measurements of hydrogen ion concentrations have been employed to determine the protonation constants for these lipophilic di-ionizable acyclic ligands in 90% methanol-10% water (v/v) at 25.0 °C and an ionic strength of 0.10 M and the stability constants for their complexes with Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, and Sr²⁺. Although all five ligands exhibit the highest stability constants for Ca²⁺, the magnitude of the differences between the stability constants for complexation of Ca²⁺ versus Mg²⁺ or Sr²⁺ is found to vary widely depending upon the identity of the bridging unit which joins the two carboxylic acid end groups.     

Complex formation of zinc, cadmium and manganese(II) with 2-hydroxypropylene-1,3-diamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid

The stability constants of the complexes of 2-hydroxypropylene-1,3-diamine N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (H₄L) with Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, and Mn²⁺ ions were determined by the potentiometric method on the background of KCl at 298.15 K and ionic strengths of 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0. The resulting data were extrapolated to the zero ionic strength by a one-parameter equation.     

Effect of ionic strength on the stabilities of ciprofloxacin – Metal complexes

Proton–ligand dissociation constant of 1-cyclopropyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl) quinolone-3-carboxylic acid is ciprofloxacin and metal–ligand stability constants of its complexes with some metal ions have been determined potentiometrically in the presence of (0.01, 0.02 and 0.03 mol/dm³) NaClO₄.

Complexing tendencies of UO 22+ and Th4+ in their mixed ligand complexes with aminopolycarboxylates and resorcinol or its derivatives

Formation contants (log K _MAL ^MA ) of mixed ligand complexes MAL, where M = UO ₂ ²⁺ or Th⁴⁺, A = IMDA, NTA, HEDTA, EDTA, CDTA or DTPA, and L = resorcinol (res), 2-methyl resorcinol (2-Me-res), 5-methyl resorcinol (5-Me-res) or 4-chloro resorcinol (4-Cl-res), have been determined pH-metrically by the Irving-Rossotti approach at 25°C and at an ionic strength,I = 0.2(moldm⁻³KNO₃). The observed stability sequences are IMDA > NTA > HEDTA > EDTA > CDTA > DTPA, and 4-Cl-res > 5-Me-res > 2-Me-res > res with respect to primary and secondary ligands, respectively. Th⁴⁺ forms more stable mixed complexes than UO ₂ ²⁺ . The A ΔlogK values are negative due mainly to the charge repulsion involved in the complexation MA + L⇋MAL.     

Gas phase and solution state stability of complexes L…M, where M = Cu, Ni, or Zn and L = R−C(O)NHOH (R = H, NH2, CH3, CF3, or Phenyl)

The structure and gas-phase metal affinities (M = Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Zn²⁺) of formohydroxamic acid derivatives R–C(O)NHOH (R = H, NH₂, CH₃, CF₃ and Phenyl) were studied using the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) method of DFT theory. In order to evaluate the conformational behavior of these systems in water, we carried out CPCM-SCRF optimization calculations at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) levels of theory. The obtained optimized geometries and interaction affinities of the gas and solution phase were compared. The following order of stability was found for ionic complexes of the transition metals: Cu²⁺ > Ni(t)²⁺ > Zn²⁺. The same stability order would be expected according to the Irving–Williams order of stability constants. The high-spin complexes of the Ni²⁺ were more stable than the low-spin complexes. The solvent effect reduced the observed relative stability of individual metallic complexes of substituted hydroxamic acids.     

Study of Complex Formation of Dibenzo-18-Crown-6 with Ce3+, Y3+, $\mathrm{UO}_{2}^{2 +}$ and Sr2+ Cations in Acetonitrile–Dioxane Binary Solvent Mixtures

The complexation reactions of dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) with Ce³⁺, Y³⁺, UO₂^{2 +}\mathrm{UO}_{2}^{2 +} and Sr²⁺ cations were studied in acetonitrile–dioxane (AN–dioxane) binary solvent solutions at different temperatures by the conductometric method. The stability constants of the resulting 1:1 complexes were determined from computer fitting of the conductance–mole ratio data. The results show that dibenzo-18-crown-6 does not exhibit selectivity for the cation whose ionic size is closest to the cavity size of this macrocyclic ligand in AN–dioxane binary solvent solutions. A nonlinear relationship was observed between the stability constants (log ₁₀ K _f) of these complexes with the composition of the AN–dioxane binary solvent. Values of thermodynamic parameters (DH_c^°, DS_c^°\Delta H_{\mathrm{c}}^{\circ}, \Delta S_{\mathrm{c}}^{\circ}) for complexation reactions were obtained from the temperature dependence of the stability constants. The results show that the values along with the sign of these parameters are influenced by the nature and composition of the mixed solvent.     

Synergistic extraction studies of uranium(VI) and plutonium(VI) with some β-diketones and heterocyclic N-oxides

The equilibrium constants for coordination of methyl substituted pyridine N-oxides with plutonium(VI) thenoyl trifluoroacetonate in chloroform (K_s) follow an order similar to those of the analogous uranium(VI) complexes indicating steric hindrance to bonding in the case of ortho substituted pyridine N-oxides. The extraction constants (k) of Pu(VI) chelates with various β-diketones are found to be only marginally higher than the values for the corresponding uranium(VI) chelates which is in conformity with the close similarity of the ionic radii of PuO ₂ ²⁺ and UO ₂ ²⁺ .     

Thermodynamic Modeling of Actinide Complexation with Acetate and Lactate at High Ionic Strength

The stability constants of NpO ₂ ⁺ , UO ₂ ²⁺ Am³⁺, and Th⁴⁺ with acetate and lactate anions has been measured in 0.3–5.0m NaCl media at 25°C by the solvent extraction technique. For the 1:1 complexation, the values of the stability constants increased in the order: NpO ₂ ⁺ < Am³⁺ < ₂ ²⁺ < Th⁴⁺, in accordance with the actinide charge density and reflecting the strongly ionic bonding of the complexes. The Pitzer ionic interaction parameters were calculated and used to estimate the thermodynamic stability constants at I = 0. Because our data were collected mainly in the high ionic strength region values of ⁽¹⁾ were estimated from values reported in the literature. For all stability constants the Pitzer model gives an excellent representation of the data using three interaction parameters ⁽⁰⁾, ⁽¹⁾, and COn leave from Institute of     

Study of the stability of violurate complexes of some d- and f-metals

The stability constants of 1: 1 and 1: 2 acidic copper(II) violurate complexes and the CuL complex, where L is the anion of violuric acid (H₂L), were determined by pH-metry at ionic strength I = 0.1 at 20°C. The stability of the violurate complexes of triply charged cations [ML]⁺ and quadruply charged thorium [ThL]²⁺ increases in the sequence La³⁺, Gd³⁺, Y³⁺, Sc³⁺, Th⁴⁺, Fe³⁺. It was shown that violuric acid behaves as either mono- or dibasic, depending on the conditions, with respect to all of these cations.     

Studies of Size-Based Selectivity in Aqueous Ternary Complexes of Americium(III) or Lanthanide(III) Cations

Spectrophotometric and calorimetric titrations were used to determine the equilibrium constants (log₁₀ K ₁₁₁) and enthalpies of formation (ΔH ₁₁₁) for aqueous ternary complexes of the form M(L^a)(L^b) (M = Nd³⁺, Sm³⁺, Tb³⁺, Ho³⁺, Er³⁺, or Am³⁺; L^a = DTPA^5?, DO3A^3?, or CDTA^4?; L^b = oxalate (Ox), malonate (Mal), or iminodiacetate (IDA)). Inner-sphere ternary complexes were readily formed with the septadentate DO3A (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-triacetic acid) and hexadentate CDTA (trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexanetetraacetic acid) ligands, whose binary complexes have residual metal-coordinated water molecules that are readily displaced by the smaller secondary ligands. The stability constants for the formation of lanthanide–CDTA complexes with Ox, Mal, and IDA generally increase with decreasing ionic radius when steric hindrance is minimal, with the trend in the M(CDTA)^? formation constants overshadowing any size-based reversal in the stepwise ternary complexation constants. Similar ternary complexes with DO3A showed little increase in thermodynamic stability compared to analogous CDTA complexes and no preference for larger Ln cations. The octadentate DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) ligand proved too large to form ternary complexes to a measurable extent with any of the secondary ligands investigated, despite the presence of one residual inner sphere water molecule.     

Squarate complexes of some lanthanide ions in aqueous solution

The squarate complexes of Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺ and Tm³⁺ in aqueous solutions of 0.05M, 0.075M and 0.1M ionic strength are studied using the solvent extraction method. Effects of changes in the ionic strength on the stability constants of the complexes formed are discussed.     

The effect of ligand donor atoms on ternary complex stability

Formation constants of mixed ligand complexes of Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, and Mn²⁺,with cyadine-5′-monophosphoric acid (CMP) and various primary ligands such as 1,10-phenanthroline(phen), glycylglycine(glygly) and salicylic acid (sal) have been determined in aqueous solution at 35°C and 0.1 M (KNO₃) by potentiomeric measurements. The acid dissociation constants of all the above mentioned ligands together with their 1 : 1 binary metal complex formation constants were also measured at 35°C. In general all the 1 : 1 binary complexes follow the Irving-Williams order of stability. Further the binary metal complexes of primary ligands are more stable than their ternary complexes with CMP. For ternary complexes, Δ(log K) values seem to change from positive to highly negative as the coordinating atoms of the primary ligands were varied from N,N to N,O^? to O^?O^?. The higher stability of ternary complexes involving phen is due to its Π-bonding interaction with the above metal ions and the relative decrease in the stability of other ternary systems is due to the coulombic repulsion of donor oxygen atoms of primary and secondary ligands. Thus for ternary complexes the stabilities follow a decreasing order of M-phen-CMP > M-glygly-CMP > M-sal-CMP.     

Thermodynamics of Ni(II) Complexation with L-Asparagine in Aqueous Solution

Complexation of the Ni²⁺ ion with L-asparagine (HAsn^±) is studied by potentiometric titration at 298.15 K and at the 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0 ionic strength of the solution (KNO₃). The formation of the NiAsn⁺ and NiAsn₂ complexes was established and their stability constants were determined. The thermodynamic stability constants of the mono- and bis(L-asparagine)nickel(II) complexes were obtained by extrapolation to zero ionic strength. The direct calorimetry method was used to measure the heat effect of the L-asparagine reaction with the Ni(II) nitrate solution in different pH intervals at 298.15 K and at the 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 ionic strength (KNO₃). The standard enthalpies of the NiAsn⁺ and NiAsn₂ formation were found using extrapolation and the equation with one individual parameter. The enthalpies of the formation of the Ni(II) complexes with L-asparagine in aqueous solution were calculated in the standard hypothetically undissociated state.     

Dissociation constants of some Schiff bases and stability constants of their copper,cobalt, nickel and zinc complexes

The stoichiometry and stability constant of metal complexes with 4-(3-methoxy-salicylideneamino)-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid monosodium salt (H₂L) and 4-(3-methoxysalicylideneamino)-5-hydroxy-6-(2,5-dichlorophenylazo)-2,7-naphthalene disulfonic acid monosodium salt (H₂L¹) were studied by potentiometric titration. The stability constants of H₂L and H₂L¹ Schiff bases have been investigated by potentiometric titration and u.v.–vis spectroscopy in aqueous media. The dissociation constants of the ligand and the stability constants of the metal complexes were calculated pH-metrically at 25 °C and 0.1 m KCl ionic strength. The dissociation constants for H₂L were obtained as 3.007, 7.620 and 9.564 and for H₂L¹, 4.000, 6.525, 9.473 and 10.423, respectively. The complexes were found to have the formulae [M(L)₂] for M = Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cu(II). The stability of the complexes follows the sequence: Zn(II) < Co(II) < Cu(II) < Ni(II). The high stability of H₂L¹ towards Cu(II) and Ni(II) over the other ions is remarkable, in particular over Cu(II), and may be of technological interest. Concentration distribution diagram of various species formed in solution was evaluated for ligands and complexes. The formation of the hydrogen bonds may cause this increased stability of ligands. The pH-metric data were used to find the stoichiometry, deprotonation and stability constants via the SUPERQUAD computer program.

Comparison of the results obtained in potassium chloride or sodium chloride medium with those found in tetramethylammonium chloride medium provides evidence of the formation of potassium and sodium complexes of the type MHP₂O^2-₇ and MP₂O^3-₇. Stability constants of these complexes are calculated and distribution diagrams of the species as a function of pH are given for the three different media utilized.
