Stabilities of the Ternary Complexes of Copper(II) with Substituted 1,10-Phenanthrolines and Some Amino Acids in Aqueous Solution

In this study the binary and ternary complexes of copper(II) with substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines [s-phen: 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmphen) and 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (nphen)] and l-amino acids [aa: l-phenylalanine (phe), l-tyrosine (tyr) and l-tryptophan (trp)] have been investigated using potentiometric methods in 0.1 mol·L^?1 KCl aqueous ionic media at 298.2 K. The protonation constants of the ligands and the stability constants of the binary and ternary complexes of Cu(II) with the ligands were calculated from the potentiometric data using the “BEST” software package. It was inferred that the aromatic 1,10-phenanthrolines act as a primary ligand in the ternary complexes, while the oxygen and nitrogen donor-containing amino acids are secondary ligands. The observed values of Δlog₁₀ K indicate that the ternary complexes are more stable than the binary ones, suggesting no interaction takes place between the ligands in the ternary complexes. The magnitudes of the measured stability constants of all of the ternary complexes are in the order [Cu(s-phen)(trp)]⁺ > [Cu(s-phen)(tyr)]⁺ > [Cu(s-phen)(phe)]⁺, which is identical to the sequence found for the binary complexes of Cu(II) with the amino acids. When the substituted 1,10-phenanthroline is changed, the stability constants of the ternary complexes decrease in the following order: [Cu(dmphen)(aa)]⁺ > [Cu(phen)(aa)]⁺ > [Cu(nphen)(aa)]⁺.     

Binary and ternary complexes of inosine

Formation of binary and ternary complexes of Cu(II) and Ni(II) metal ions with inosine as a primary ligand and some biologically important aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids (succinic, oxalic, malic, maleic, malonic, tartaric, 5-sulfosalicylic, salicylic and phthalic acids) as secondary ligands was studied by the potentiometric technique at 25 degrees C and 0.10 M (NaNO(3)) ionic strength. The ternary complex formation was found to take place in a stepwise manner. The stability constants of these binary and ternary systems were calculated. The lower stability of 1:2 complexes of inosine compared to the corresponding 1:1 systems is in accord with statistical considerations. The values of Delta log K for the ternary complexes studied have been evaluated and discussed. The mode of chelation of ternary complexes was ascertained by conductivity measurements.     

Role of secondary ligands in the structure and stability of metal—cytidine complexes in solution

The interaction of Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Mn(II), Co(II), Mg and Ca ions with cytidine and the biologically important ligands histidine, histamine, glycine and oxalic acid in a 1:1:1 ratio have been investigated by potentiometric equilibrium measurements at 35°C and 0.10 M (KNO₃) ionic strength. These investigations were undertaken to assess the influence of the secondary ligands on the structure and stability of the 1:1 metal—cytidine system. The stability of the binary and ternary complexes has been compared. The enhanced stability of the ternary complexes was measured in terms of Δ log K, the difference between the ternary and binary complexes. The involvement of various donor sites of histidine in metal binding was specially discussed. A general conclusion drawn from this investigation is that aromatic ligands formed more stable complexes than aliphatic ligands. This is attributed to the stacking phenomenon.     

Potentiometric Studies on Complexation of Cu(II) Ion with Methyl/Nitro-Substituted 1,10-Phenanthrolines and Selected Amino Acids

Protonation constants of methyl/nitro substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines {(m/n-sphen): 4-methyl-phenanthroline (4-mphen), 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (5-mphen), 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmphen), 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (tmphen) and 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (5-nphen)] and the amino acids (aa) l-tyrosine (tyr) and glycine (gly), and their corresponding binary and ternary stability constants with Cu(II), were determined in aqueous 0.1 mol·L^?1 KCl ionic media at 298.15 K. The protonation constants of the ligands and the stability constants of the binary and ternary complexes of Cu(II) with the ligands were calculated from the potentiometric data using the “BEST” software package. The species distribution diagrams were obtained using the “SPE” software package under the experimental conditions described. The order of stability of the ternary complexes in terms of the primary ligands is [Cu(tmphen)(aa)]⁺ > [Cu(dmphen)(aa)]⁺ > [Cu(4-mphen)(aa)]⁺ > [Cu(5-mphen)(aa)]⁺ > [Cu(5-nphen)(aa)]⁺. The stability constants of the ternary complexes decrease in the following order: [Cu(m/n-sphen)(gly)]⁺ > [Cu(m/n-sphen)(tyr)]⁺, which is identical to the sequence found for the binary complexes of Cu(II) with gly and tyr.     

Studies on some salicylaldehyde Schiff base derivatives and their complexes with Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Ni(II) and Cu(II)

The formation constants of some transition metal ions Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Ni(II) and Cu(II) binary complexes containing Schiff bases resulting from condensation of salicylaldehyde with aniline (I), 2-aminopyridine (II), 4-aminopyridine (III) and 2-aminopyrimidine (IV) were determined pH-metrically in ethanolic medium (80%, v/v).

It was found that the thermal decomposition of the complexes follow second order kinetics. The thermodynamic parameters of the decomposition are also reported. The electronic absorption spectra of the investigated ligands were carried out to determine the pK(a) values spectrophotometrically.

Electrometric Studies on the Ternary Complexes of M(II) With Chlorpromazine and Some Amino Acids

 The stability constants for the binary M(II)- chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CPZ) and the ternary complexes M(II)-chlorpromazine-amino acid, have been studied using pH-measurements. The amino acids (aa) are: glycine, glutamic acid, histidine and the metal ions are: Cu(II), Zn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and UO₂(II). All experiments were carried out in the presence of 0.1 mol dm⁻³ KNO₃. The resulting stability constants of the binary and the ternary complexes were compared. It was observed that the stability of the ternary complexes-except for glutamic acid – are lower than of the binary ones. Received October 22, 1998. Revision March 14, 1999.     

Ternary complexes of 5′-cytidine monophosphate and cytosine with some biologically important secondary ligands

Potentiometric equilibrium measurements have been made at 35°C for the interaction of 5′-cytidine monophosphate and Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Mg(II) and Ca(II) with biologically important secondary ligands (glycine, oxalic cid, histidine and histamine) in a 1:1:1 ratio. Similar studies with cytosine were carried out for comparison. For the above systems, the ternary complexes are found to be more stable than the corresponding binary complexes. The Δ log K values for 1 : 1 : 1 complexes of metal-5′-cytidine monophosphate (or cytosine) with aromatic ligands are more positive compared to the corresponding complexes with aliphatic ligands. This is explained in terms of “stacking phenomenon” that occur between the two aromatic moieties of the primary and secondary ligands in solution.     

Complex Formation Reactions of Promethazine Copper(II) and Various Biologically Relevant Ligands. Synthesis,Equilibrium Constants,Spectroscopic Characterization and Biological Activity

Binary and ternary complexes of copper(II) involving promethazine, N,N-dimethyl-3-(phenothiazin-10-yl)propylamine (Prom) and various biologically relevant ligands containing different functional groups, were investigated. The ligands (L) are dicarboxylic acids, amino acids, amides and DNA constituents. The ternary complexes of amino acids, dicarboxylic acids or amides are formed by simultaneous reactions. The results showed the formation of Cu(Prom)(L) complexes with amino acids and dicarboxylic acids. The effect of chelate ring size of the dicarboxylic acid complexes on their stability constants was examined. Amides form both Cu(Prom)(L) complexes and the corresponding deprotonated species Cu(Prom)(LH₋₁). The ternary complexes of copper(II) with (Prom) and DNA are formed in a stepwise process, whereby binding of copper(II) to (Prom) is followed by ligation of the DNA components. DNA constituents form both 1:1 and 1:2 complexes with Cu(Prom)²⁺. The stability of these ternary complexes was quantitatively compared with their corresponding binary complexes in terms of the parameters Δlog₁₀ K. The values of Δlog₁₀ K indicate that the ternary complexes containing aromatic amino acids were significantly more stable than the complexes containing alkyl- and hydroxyalkyl-substituted amino acids. The concentration distribution of various complex species formed in solution was also evaluated as a function of pH. The solid complexes [Cu(Prom)L)] where L=1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylic acid (CBDCA), oxalic and malonic acid were isolated and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, TGA, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Spectroscopic studies of the complexes revealed that the complexes exhibits square planar coordination with copper(II). The isolated solid complexes have been screened for their antimicrobial activities using the disc diffusion method against some selected bacteria and fungi. The activity data show that the metal complexes are found to have antibacterial and antifungal activity.     

Synthesis,Spectral, Characterization,and Anticancer Activity of Some Binary and Mixed Ligand Complexes of 4-Methyl-2-Pentanone Thiosemicarbazone and Some Amino Acids

The Schiff base ligand 4-methyl-2-pentanone thiosemicarbazone (MPTSC) (HL) has been synthesized by the interaction of 4-methyl-2-pentanone (MP) and thiosemicarbazone (TSC). The Ni(II), Cu(II), and Fe(III) binary complexes of this ligand have been prepared. The ternary complexes of VO(IV) and Mn(II) ions with HL and glutamine (Glu) as a secondary ligand, in addition to VO(IV), Mn(II), and La(III) with HL and glycine (Gly) as a secondary ligand, have also been synthesized. The binary and ternary complexes have been characterized based on elemental analysis, IR, UV-VIS, molar conductance, mass spectra, magnetic moment, and ESR measurements. The magnetic moment, UV, and ESR studies suggest that Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes are square planar, whereas Fe(III), Mn(II), and La(III) complexes have octahedral geometry, but VO(IV) ternary complexes have square pyramidal geometry. The analytical data indicate that the metal-to-ligand ratio in binary complexes is 1:1, except HL-Cu(II) chloride complex where the metal-to-ligand to secondary ligand ratio in ternary complexes is 1:1:1. The anticancer studies showed that the anticancer activity is in the decreasing order: ternary complexes > binary complexes > free ligand (HL).

Synthesis,characterization, equilibrium studies,and biological activity of complexes involving copper(II), 2-aminomethylthiophenyl-4-bromosalicylaldehyde Schiff base,and selected amino acids

Ternary complexes of copper(II) with 2-aminomethylthiophenyl-4-bromosalicylaldehyde (ATS) and some amino acids have been isolated and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, magnetic moment, molar conductance, UV–vis, mass spectra, and ESR. The proposed general formulas of the prepared complexes are [Cu(ATS)(AA)]·nH₂O (where AA?=?glycine, alanine, and valine). The low molar conductance values suggest the non-electrolytic nature of the complexes. IR spectra show that ATS is coordinated to copper in a bidentate manner through azomethine-N and phenolic-OH. The amino acids also are monobasic bidentate ligands via amino and ionized carboxylate groups. The magnetic and spectral data indicate the square-planar geometry of Cu(II) complexes. The geometry of the Cu(II) complexes has been fully optimized using parameterized PM3 semiempirical method. The Cu–N bond length is longer than that of Cu–O in the isolated complexes. Also, information is obtained from calculations of molecular parameters for all complexes including net dipole moment of the metal complexes, values of binding energy, and lipophilicity value (log P). The antimicrobial activity studies indicate significant inhibitory activity of complex 3 against the selected types of bacteria. The mixed ligand complexes have also been studied in solution state. Protonation constants of ATS and amino acids were determined by potentiometric titration in 50% (v/v) DMSO–water solution at ionic strength of 0.1?M NaCl. ATS has two protonation constants. The binary and ternary complexes of copper(II) involving ATS and some selected amino acids (glycine, alanine, and valine) were examined. Copper(II) forms [Cu(ATS)], [Cu(ATS)₂], [Cu(AA)], [Cu(AA)₂], and [Cu(ATS)(AA)] complexes. The ternary complexes are formed in a simultaneous mechanism.

The relative stability of the ternary complexes are discussed in terms of statistical effects and the nature of ligands in the coordination sphere of the metal ion.     

Mono and binuclear Ag(I), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Hg(II) complexes of a new azo-azomethine as ligand: synthesis, potentiometric, spectral and thermal studies

New azo-azomethine dyes were prepared by reaction of p-aminobenzoic acid, o-anisidine, o-nitroaniline, and p-bromoaniline with salicylaldehyde respectively to form azo compounds and then condensation by urea to form 4-(R-arylazo 2-salicylaldene)-urea azo-azomethine derivatives (I(a-d)). The complexes of these ligands with Ag(I), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Hg(II) metal ions were prepared. The structure of the free ligands and their complexes were characterized by using elemental analysis (C, H, N), (1)H NMR, IR and UV-Vis-spectra. The proton dissociation constants of the ligands and the stability constant of their complexes have been determined potentiometrically in 40% (v/v) alcohol-water medium as well as the stoichiometry of complexes were determined conductometrically. The data reveal that the stoichiometries for all complexes were prepared in molar ratios (1:1) and (1:2) (M:L). The electrolytic and nonelectrolytic natures of the complexes were assigned based on molar conductance measurements. The thermogravimetric (TG), and differential thermal analyses (DTA) were studied in nitrogen atmosphere with heating rate 10°C/min. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for thermal decomposition of complexes have been calculated by graphical method using Coats-Redfern (CR) method.

A potentiometric method was used to determine the stability constants for the various complexes of copper(II) with carbamoylcholine chloride (C) drug as a ligand in the presence of some biorelevant amino acid constituents like glycine (Gly), alanine (Ala), valine (Val), proline (Pro), β-phenylalanine (Phe), S-methylcysteine (Met), threonine (Thr), ornithine (Orn), lysine (Lys), histidine (Hisd), histamine (Hist), and imidazole (Imz) as ligands (L). Stability constants of complexes were determined at 25°C and I = 0.10 mol/L NaNO₃. The relative stability of each ternary complex was compared with that of the corresponding binary complexes in terms of Δlog K and % R.S. values. Cu(II) complexes of drug C were synthesized in 1:1 and 1:1:1 M ratios of copper to drug [Cu(C)(NO₃)₂] (1) and copper to drug to glycine[Cu(C)(Gly)(NO₃)].NO₃ (2), respectively. Glycine ternary complex with drug and copper [Cu(C)(Gly)(NO₃)].NO₃ was considered as representative amino acid. The complexes 1 and 2 were isolated and characterized using various physicochemical and spectral techniques. Both complexes 1 and 2 were found to have magnetic moments corresponding to one unpaired electron. The possible square planar and square-pyramidal geometries of the copper (II) complexes were assigned on the basis of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) and infrared (IR) spectral studies, and the discrete Fourier transform method from DMOL3 calculations. Antioxidant activities of all the synthesized compounds were also investigated.

Complexation Equilibria of Zn(II), Pb(II) and Cd(II) with Reduced Glutathione (GSH) and Biologically Important Zwitterionic Buffers

The interaction of zinc(II), lead(II), and cadmium(II) with Glutathione (S‐L‐glutamyl‐Lcysteinylglycine) as primary ligand and zwitterionic buffers (N‐[2‐Hydroxyethyl]piperazine‐N′‐[2‐ethanesulfonic acid]) (HEPES) and (N‐Hydroxyethyl]piperazine‐N′‐[2‐hydroxy‐propanesulfonic acid]) (HEPPSO) as secondary ligands were studied by potentiometric‐pH titration in 1:1:1 ratio at 25.0 °C and I = 0.1 mol.dm^?3 (KNO₃). The formation constants of different normal and protonated binary and ternary complex species were calculated. Formation constants for the monohydroxy, and dihydroxy complexes for the binary systems M(II) + HEPES and M(II) + HEPPSO have been evaluated.

Binary and Ternary Complexes Involved in the Systems Methioninehydroxamic Acid - Glycylglycine - Ni(II) or Cu(II) Ions

The formation constants of binary and ternary complexes involved in the systems methioninehydroxamic acid (MX), glycylglycine (GG) and Cu(II) or Ni(II) were determined by pH-metric titration in aqueous solution at an ionic strength (I)= 0.15 M NaCl) and T = 25°C. Ternary species of the type (MX : GG : Ni(II) or Cu(II) : H) = (1 : 1 : 1 : r), (2 : 1 : 1 : r) and (1 : 2 : 1 : r) exist in the pH range ～3 to ～10. Differential pulse polarography (DPP) was used to follow complex formation and to study the reduction properties of these metal ions in the presence of MX, and GG. The metal oxidation states were more stabilized in the ternary systems than in the binary systems except for a few Ni(II) systems. Spectral studies in the UV-Vis-nIR were used to monitor the presence of ternary species in the Ni(II) and Cu(II) systems. In addition, EPR studies were also used to record the magnetic properties of the binary and ternary species in the Cu(II) systems.
