The Stabilities and Thermodynamic Properties of Triethylenetetraminehexaacetic Acid Chelates of the Tripositive Lanthanide Ions

The interaction between the decadentate ligand triethylenetetraminehexaacetic acid (TTHA or H₆Z) and tripositive rare-earth metal ions (Ln³⁺) has been investigated. The acid formation constants of the hydrogen chelates (LnHZ^2?, LnH₂Z-) and the formation constants of the normal chelates (LnZ^3?) have been evaluated at 15, 25 and 35°C, and at an ionic strength of 0.1 (KNO₃), the former by a titration method and the latter by a mercury indicator electrode technique. Enthalpy and entropy changes characterizing the formation of the normal chelates have been calculated at 25°C. These functions have been compared with corresponding values for related chelating agents.     

Stabilities and Thermodynamic Properties of Ethylenediamine-di(o-Hydroxyphenylacetic Acid) Chelates of Tripositive Lanthanide Ions

The interaction between ethylenediamine-di(o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid) (EDDHA, H₄Z) and tripositive lanthanide ions has been investigated. The formation constants of the protonated chelates (LnHZ) and those of the normal chelates (LnZ^?) have been evaluated at various temperatures and at a constant ionic strength of 0.1(KNO₁). For LnHZ, the pH-titrimetric technique, and for LnZ^?, the mercury indicator electrode method were used. The enthalpy and entropy changes characterizing the formation of LnZ^? have been calculated at 25° and, these functions have been compared with the corresponding values of other lanthanide chelates with related chelating agents.     

The Stabilities and Thermodynamic Properties of Manganese(II) and Nickel(II) Chelates of Trans-1,2-Diaminocyclohexane-N,N, N', N'-Tetraacetic Acid

The interaction between trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane-N, N, N', N'-tetraacetic acid (H₁DCTA or H₄Z) and Mn(II) and Ni(II) ions has been investigated. The formation constants of the hydrogen chelates (MHZ^?), and of the normal chelates (MZ^2?), have been measured at 20, 30 and 40°C, and an ionic strength of 0.10 (KNO₃). The former was done by a titration technique and the latter by a mercury indicator electrode method. Enthalpy and entropy changes characterizing the formation of the normal chelates have been calculated at 25°C.     

Komplexone VL. Reaktionsenthalpie und -entropie bei der Bildung der 1 : 1-Komplexe der Seltenen Erdionen mit 1,3-Diaminopropan-N,N, N′, N′-tetraacetat

The stability constants of the 1 :1 complexes of trimethylenediamine-N, N, N′ N′ tetraacetate ‘TMTA’ with rare earth trivalent cations have been checked. The heats involved in complex formation have been determined. The thermodynamic data show a similar trend as for those of the EDTA complexes, but the discontinuities in the plots ΔH vs. 1/r and ΔS vs. 1/r are displaced towards lower values of 1/r. A change of the coordination number and of the number of coordinated water molecules for the complexes along the series La³+ – Lu³⁺ is suggested. The simultaneous presence in solution of species differing only in the number of bonded H₂O for some members of the series has been confirmed by spectrophotometric measurements in the temperature range 2 to 70°. All facts support the conclusion that in dilute solution all SE^III aquo ions exhibit the same coordination number.     

Relaxivity Study and X-ray Structure of Gd(III)-diethylenetriamine-N,N′,N′-triacetic-N,N″-bis(benzylamide). A Potential MRI Contrast Agent

The new bis(amide) derivatives of DTPA (diethylenetriamine-N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentaacetic acid), diethylenetriamine-N,N′,N″-triacetic-N,N″-bis(benzylamide) (DTPA-BBA) have been synthesized. The crystal structure of gadolinium(III) complex of DTPA-BBA ([Gd(DTPA-BBA)]) has been determined by X-ray crystallography: C₂₈H₅₂GdN₅O₁₇, M_w = 889 g mol^?1, space group $ {\rm P}\bar 1 $ (#2) (triclinic), a = 12.645(4), b=14.125(8), c = 12.623(4) Å, α = 111.60(3), β = 114.79(3), γ = 88.39(4)°, V = 1881(1) ų, Z = 2, D_x = 1.569 g/cm³, λ(Mo Kα) =0.71069 Å, μ = 18.44 cm^?1, final R = 0.047, R_w = 0.046 for 3755 independent observed reflections at 23 °C. The coordination sphere of Gd(III) comprises three amine nitrogens, two amide oxygens, three carboxylic acid oxygens, and one water. The relaxivity of Gd(III) complex was determined to be R1 = 4.08(4) and R2 = 6.06(5) dm³ mmol^?1 s^?1 at pH = 7.0, 20 MHz, and 37(1) °C. Additionally, the R1 relaxivity for Gd(III) chelate was found to be invariant with respect to pH changes over the range of 2-10. This indicates that a constant inner-sphere hydration number is associated with the [Gd(DTPA-BBA)] complex. Hence the high stability of the complex is demonstrated.     

Kinetics of metal exchange reaction of Cu(II)-poly(vinyl alcohol) complex with Ca(II)-ethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid in aqueous solution

The kinetics of the metal exchange reaction between the Cu(II)-poly(vinyl alcohol) complex (Cu(II)-PVA) and Ca(II)-ethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (Ca(II)-EDTA) were studied by mixing both solutions in a spectrophotometer at pH 9.7–11.0, at μ = 0.10(KNO₃) and at 25°C. The reaction is initiated by the formation of unstable Cu(II)-H-PVA by the attack of H⁺ to Cu(II)-PVA, and while both ligand exchange and metal exchange steps occur, the latter may be rate-determining. The kinetic expression of this reaction was determined as -d[Cu(II)-PVA]/dt = k[Cu(II)-PVA] [H⁺] [PVA]/[Ca(II)-EDTA], where k = k₁ + k′₂[H⁺], k₁ = 3.85 × 10⁻² sec⁻¹, k₂ = k′₂ · K^−H_Cu(II)-H-PVA 9.59 × 10⁵ 1 mol⁻¹ sec⁻¹.     

Complexation Properties of N,N′,N″,N′′′‐[1,4,7,10‐Tetraazacyclododecane‐1,4,7,10‐tetrayltetrakis(1‐oxoethane‐2,1‐diyl)]tetrakis[glycine] (H4dotagl). Equilibrium,Kinetic, and Relaxation Behavior of the Lanthanide(III) Complexes

Eu³⁺, Dy³⁺, and Yb³⁺ complexes of the dota‐derived tetramide N,N′,N″,N′′′‐[1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane‐1,4,7,10‐tetrayltetrakis(1‐oxoethane‐2,1‐diyl)]tetrakis[glycine] (H₄dotagl) are potential CEST contrast agents in MRI. In the [Ln(dotagl)] complexes, the Ln³⁺ ion is in the cage formed by the four ring N‐atoms and the amide O‐atom donor atoms, and a H₂O molecule occupies the ninth coordination site. The stability constants of the [Ln(dotagl)] complexes are ca. 10 orders of magnitude lower than those of the [Ln(dota)] analogues (H₄dota=1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane‐1,4,7,10‐tetraacetic acid). The free carboxylate groups in [Ln(dotagl)] are protonated in the pH range 1–5, resulting in mono‐, di‐, tri‐, and tetraprotonated species. Complexes with divalent metals (Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, and Cu²⁺) are also of relatively low stability. At pH>8, Cu²⁺ forms a hydroxo complex; however, the amide H‐atom(s) does not dissociate due to the absence of anchor N‐atom(s), which is the result of the rigid structure of the ring. The relaxivities of [Gd(dotagl)] decrease from 10 to 25°, then increase between 30–50°. This unusual trend is interpreted with the low H₂O‐exchange rate. The [Ln(dotagl)] complexes form slowly, via the equilibrium formation of a monoprotonated intermediate, which deprotonates and rearranges to the product in a slow, OH^?‐catalyzed reaction. The formation rates are lower than those for the corresponding Ln(dota) complexes. The dissociation rate of [Eu(dotagl)] is directly proportional to [H⁺] (0.1–1.0M HClO₄); the proton‐assisted dissociation rate is lower for [Eu(H₄dotagl)] (k₁=8.1?10^?6 M ^?1 s^?1) than for [Eu(dota)] (k₁=1.4?10^?5 M ^?1 s^?1).

Chelate Formation of N-Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine-N′,N′,N″,N″,N?,N?-hexaacetic Acid (H₆TTAHA) and N-(Pyrid-2-yl-methyl)ethylenediamine-N,N′,N′-triacetic Acid (H₃PEDTA) with Gadolinium(III) – Syntheses, Stability Constants, and NMR-Relaxivities The chelate formation of N-tris(2-aminoethyl)amine-N′,N′,N″,N″,N?,N?-hexaacetic acid (H₆TTAHA) and N-(pyrid-2-yl-methyl)ethylenediamine-N,N′,N′-triacetic acid (H₃PEDTA) with gadolinium(III) has been studied potentiometrically in aqueous solution at 25°C and μ = 0.1 (KCl). [Gd(TTAHA)]^3?: 1gβ_M/ML = 19.0; {H[Gd(TTAHA)]}^2?: 1gK_H/MHL = 8.30; [Gd(PEDTA)]: 1gβ_M/ML = 15.56. Both 1 : 1 gadolinium(III) complexes were isolated as Na₂H[Gd(C₁₈H₂₄N₄O₁₂)] · 3.5 H₂O and [Gd(C₁₄H₁₆N₃O₆)] · 3 H₂O, respectively. Their ¹H-NMR relaxivities [1 · mmol^?1 · s^?1] ({H[Gd(TTAHA)]}^2?: 9.5; [Gd(PEDTA)]: 8.8) offer promising applications for ¹H-NMR imaging.

The crystal structure has been determined from single crystal X-ray data measured at 20°C and refined to a conventional R of 0.052 for 4556 independent reflections (R_w = 0.054). The K⁺ cation is surrounded of one oxygen, one nitrogen, and three sulfur atoms to form a distorted trigonal bipyramid. The S₂CNCN part of the anion, which exists as E, E conformer, is plane. The dioxane molecule has chair conformation without symmetry centre.     

Synthesis and Characterization of α-Hexadecyl-DOTA and its Gd（Ⅲ） Chelate

Synthesis and characterization of the ligand, 10-(α-hexadecylcarboxymethyl)- 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-triacetic acid (H4L), and its Gd(Ⅲ) chelate are described. Protonation constants for H4L ( lg Ki^H = 10.52, 9.45,4.74, 4.10) and the stability constant for GdL^-(lg KGdL^-=24.50) were determined by potentiometric titrations.The results obtained show that the ligand still maintains the strong chelating properties of the parent DOTA(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N‘,N“N′“-tetraacetic acid) after introduction of a linear chain hexadecyl group at the acetic side chain of DOTA, and its basicity is not significantly altered.     

Interaction of dimethyltin(IV) dichloride with 5′‐IMP and 5′‐UMP

The formation constants of the species formed in the systems H⁺ + dimethyltin(IV) + 5′‐IMP and 5′‐UMP, H⁺ + 5′‐IMP and H⁺ + 5′‐UMP have been determined in aqueous solution in the pH range 1.5–9.5 at constant temperature (25 °C) and constant ionic strength (0.1 mol dm⁻³ NaClO₄), using spectrophotometric and potentiometric techniques. ¹H and ³¹P NMR investigations in aqueous solution confirmed the species formation. The precipitated complexes of IMP and UMP by Me₂Sn(IV)²⁺ at low pH values were characterized by elemental analysis and FTIR spectroscopy methods, the bonding sites of the ligands were determined and ruled out purine and pyrimidine moieties (N‐7 and N‐1 in IMP and N‐3 in UMP, respectively) while a bidentated coordination of the phosphate group is concluded in both cases. Finally, the experiments revealed the existence of complexes with trigonal bipyramidal structures that is in agreement with similar systems resulted previously.

Copper(II) Complexes of N,N′-Bis-βCarbamoylethyl) Ethylenediamine in Aqueous Solution

The interactions of the ligand N, N -bis-(β-carbamoylethyl)-ethylenediamine (BCEN) with copper (II) in aqueous solution have been investigated by potentiometric and spectrophotometric techniques. The two protonation constants of the ligand at 25° in 0.2 M NaNO₃are 10^5-51and 10^5-44 The quantitative equilibrium studies of the stepwise reactions which precede the formation of CuBCEN²⁺ and the Cu-O to Cu-N bond rearrangements at the two amide sites are described in detail. Electronic spectra of the copper (II) chelates formed are measured and discussed.     

Di­bromo­[(–)‐sparteine‐κ2N,N′]­zinc(II)

In the title compound, di­bromo­[(6R,7S,8S,14S)‐1,3,4,7,7a,8,9,10,11,13,14,14a‐dodeca­hydro‐7,14‐methano‐2H,6H‐dipyrido­[1,2‐a:1′,2′‐e][1,5]­diazo­cine‐κ²N,N′]­zinc(II), [ZnBr₂(C₁₅H₂₆N₂)], the chiral nitro­gen‐chelating alkaloid (?)‐l ‐sparteine acts as a bidentate ligand, with two bromide ligands occupying the remaining coordination sites, producing a slightly distorted tetrahedral structure. The dihedral angle between the N—Zn—N and Br—Zn—Br planes is 82.4 (1)°. The distortion of the tetrahedral coordination is demonstrated by the fact that the midpoint of the N?N line does not lie in the Br—Zn—Br plane, but is tilted towards one of the N atoms by 0.164 Å. Similarly, the midpoint of the Br?Br line is tilted towards one of the Br atoms by 0.117 Å.     

Intrinsic Acid–Base Properties of a Hexa‐2′‐deoxynucleoside Pentaphosphate,d(ApGpGpCpCpT): Neighboring Effects and Isomeric Equilibria

The intrinsic acid‐base properties of the hexa‐2′‐deoxynucleoside pentaphosphate, d(ApGpGpCpCpT) [=(A1?G2?G3?C4?C5?T6)=(HNPP)^5?] have been determined by ¹H NMR shift experiments. The pK_a values of the individual sites of the adenosine (A), guanosine (G), cytidine (C), and thymidine (T) residues were measured in water under single‐strand conditions (i.e., 10 % D₂O, 47 °C, I=0.1 M , NaClO₄). These results quantify the release of H⁺ from the two (N7)H⁺ (G?G), the two (N3)H⁺ (C?C), and the (N1)H⁺ (A) units, as well as from the two (N1)H (G?G) and the (N3)H (T) sites. Based on measurements with 2′‐deoxynucleosides at 25 °C and 47 °C, they were transferred to pK_a values valid in water at 25 °C and I=0.1 M . Intramolecular stacks between the nucleobases A1 and G2 as well as most likely also between G2 and G3 are formed. For HNPP three pK_a clusters occur, that is those encompassing the pK_a values of 2.44, 2.97, and 3.71 of G2(N7)H⁺, G3(N7)H⁺, and A1(N1)H⁺, respectively, with overlapping buffer regions. The tautomer populations were estimated, giving for the release of a single proton from five‐fold protonated H₅(HNPP)^±, the tautomers (G2)N7, (G3)N7, and (A1)N1 with formation degrees of about 74, 22, and 4 %, respectively. Tautomer distributions reveal pathways for proton‐donating as well as for proton‐accepting reactions both being expected to be fast and to occur practically at no “cost”. The eight pK_a values for H₅(HNPP)^± are compared with data for nucleosides and nucleotides, revealing that the nucleoside residues are in part affected very differently by their neighbors. In addition, the intrinsic acidity constants for the RNA derivative r(A1?G2?G3? C4?C5?U6), where U=uridine, were calculated. Finally, the effect of metal ions on the pK_a values of nucleobase sites is briefly discussed because in this way deprotonation reactions can easily be shifted to the physiological pH range.     

Two isomorphous transition metal complexes displaying a coordinated tetrathionate unit: bis(4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ2N,N′)(tetrathionato‐κ2S,S′)cadmium(II) dimethylformamide disolvate and the zinc(II) analogue

The isomorphous title compounds, [Tr(S₄O₆)(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)₂]·2C₃H₇NO (Tr = Cd^II and Zn^II), consist of metal centres to which one tetrathionate and two 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine chelating ligands bind. The structures are completed by two symmetry‐related dimethylformamide solvent molecules. Each metal‐centred complex is bisected by a twofold axis running through the metal centre and halving the chelating tetrathionate dianion through the central S—S bond. The ancillary symmetry‐related 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine ligands act as chelates. This results in a distorted six‐coordinate geometry, with similar Tr—O/N distances but central angles differing substantially from 90 and 180°. Both ligands are basically featureless from a geometric point of view, with torsion angles in both coordinated tetrathionate groups suggesting a trend linking metal size (covalent radius) and ligand `openness'. Packing is directed by (C—H)_aromatic...O bridges and π–π offset stacked interactions defining chains along [001], further linked by weaker (C—H)_methyl...O bridges, some of them mediated by the dimethylformamide solvent molecules.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties of (acetato‐κ2O,O′)bis(5,5′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ2N,N′)nickel(II) perchlorate monohydrate

The title hydrated ionic complex, [Ni(CH₃COO)(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)₂]ClO₄·H₂O or [Ni(ac)(5,5′‐dmbpy)₂]ClO₄·H₂O (where 5,5′‐dmbpy is 5,5′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine and ac is acetate), (1), was isolated as violet crystals from the aqueous ethanolic nickel acetate–5,5′‐dmbpy–KClO₄ system. Within the complex cation, the Ni^II atom is hexacoordinated by two chelating 5,5′‐dmbpy ligands and one chelating ac ligand. The mean Ni—N and Ni—O bond lengths are 2.0628 (17) and 2.1341 (15) Å, respectively. The water solvent molecule is disordered over two partially occupied positions and links two complex cations and two perchlorate anions into hydrogen‐bonded centrosymmetric dimers, which are further connected by π–π interactions. The magnetic properties of (1) at low temperatures are governed by the action of single‐ion anisotropy, D, which arises from the reduced local symmetry of the cis‐NiO₂N₄ chromophore. The fitting of the variable‐temperature magnetic data (2–300 K) gives g_iso = 2.134 and D/hc = 3.13 cm⁻¹.     

6‐Aza‐2′‐deoxy‐2′‐arabino­fluoro­uridine,a 2′‐deoxy­ribonucleoside with an N‐sugar conformation in the solid state and in solution

In the title compound, 2‐(2‐deoxy‐2‐fluoro‐β‐d ‐arabino­fur­anosyl)‐1,2,4‐triazine‐3,5(2H,4H)‐dione, C₈H₁₀FN₃O₅, the torsion angle of the N‐gly­cosylic bond is anti [χ = −125.37 (13)°]. The furan­ose moiety adopts the N‐type sugar pucker (³T₂), with P = 359.2° and τ_m = 31.4°. The conformation around the C4′—C5′ bond is antiperiplanar (trans), with a torsion angle γ of 177.00 (11)°. A network is formed via hydrogen bonds from the nucleobases to the sugar residues, as well as through hydrogen bonds between the sugar moieties.

In the title compounds, {2,2′‐[2,2‐di­methyl‐1,3‐propane­diyl­bis­(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]­diphenolato‐κ⁴N,N′,O,O′}nickel(II), [Ni(C₁₉H₂₀N₂O₂)], and {2,2′‐[2,2‐di­methyl‐1,3‐propane­diyl­bis­(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]­diphenolato‐κ⁴N,N′,O,O′}copper(II), [Cu(C₁₉H₂₀N₂O₂)], the Ni^II and Cu^II atoms are coordinated by two iminic N and two phenolic O atoms of the N,N′‐bis­(salicyl­idene)‐2,2‐di­methyl‐1,3‐propane­diaminate (SALPD^2?, C₁₇H₁₆N₂O₂^2?) ligand. The geometry of the coordination sphere is planar in the case of the Ni^II complex and distorted towards tetrahedral for the Cu^II complex. Both complexes have a cis configuration imposed by the chelate ligand. The dihedral angles between the N/Ni/O and N/Cu/O coordination planes are 17.20 (6) and 35.13 (7)°, respectively.

1-Ethoxycarbonyl-3-ferrocenyl-propane-1,3-dion and Ferrocene-1,1′bis(2,4-dioxobutanoic acid ethylester) as Ligands for Transition Metal Ions. Crystal Structure of Bis(1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-ferrocenyl-propane-1,3dionato)copper(II) The ligands 1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-ferrocenyl-propane-1,3-dion and ferrocene-1,1′-bis(2,4-dioxo-butanoic acid ethylester) have been prepared by reaction of acetylferrocene or 1,1′-diacetylferrocene and diethyl oxalate. They yield neutral chelates with Cu^II, Ni^II, Zn^II, Co^II, and Mn^II. The acid dissociation constants of the ligands and the stability constants of their metal complexes including Fe^II complexes are reported. The structure of bis(1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-ferrocenyl-propane-1,3-dionato)copper(II) was determined by X-ray structure analysis. A cis arrangement with a nearly square planar coordination sphere at the Cu atom is found.     

Stability,Formation and Dissociation Kinetics of the Pentacoordinate Ni2+ and CO2+ Complexes with 1,5-Diazacyclooctane-N,N′-diacetic Acid

The stability constants of the Ni²⁺ and Co²⁺ complexes with 1,5-diazacyclooctane-N,N′-diacetic acid (H₂DACODA) have been determined potentiometrically in 0.5M KNO₃ at 25°. Only M(DACODA) and M(DACODA)OH^? were observed. In addition the formation and dissociation kinetics of the pentacoordinate complexes M(DACODA) has been studied in aqueous solution using a stopped-flow technique. Formation follows the rate law v_f = k_f [M²⁺] [HDACODA^?]/[H⁺], which can be interpreted as a bimolecular process either between M²⁺ and DACODA^2? (k) or between MOH⁺ and HDACODA^? (k). The second order rate constants k are much higher than those expected from water exchange and can only be explained by a strong internal conjugate base effect. In the limiting case, however, this is equivalent to the second possible explanation, which assumes MOH⁺ and HDACODA^? as reactive species. The dissociation rate is given by v_d = (k^ML + k [H⁺]) · [M(DACODA)].
