A Potentiometric and Spectroscopic Investigation of Copper(II)– and Zinc(II)–Orotate Complex Equilibria Under Physiological Conditions

A quantitative study of zinc(II) and copper(II) complex formation with orotic acid has been performed under physiological conditions (37°C; 0.15 mol-dm^–3 NaCl) using the glass electrode potentiometric technique. Several species have been identified within the pH range 2–10 for the metal-to-ligand concentration ratios investigated. Three mononuclear complexes, ML, ML₂, and ML₂H_–1, have been characterized with both metals. In addition, the polynuclear species M₃L₂H_–2 has been found with copper(II). Formation constants for all these species have been calculated with the help of the SUPERQUAD computer program. UV absorption and IR spectroscopic measurements combined with speciation calculations have been used to confirm corresponding structures.     

Investigation Under Physiological Conditions of Orotic Acid Complex Equilibria with Calcium and Magnesium Using Potentiometric and Spectroscopic Techniques

With a view to obtaining information about the structures and stabilities of the orotic acid (ORA, vitamine B₁₃) complexes with Ca(II) and Mg(II), potentiometric and spectroscopic studies using a glass electrode have been carried out in aqueous solution at physiological conditions (37 ^∘C, 0.15 mmol⋅dm⁻³ NaCl) and at different ligand to metal ratios. Computer-assisted analysis of the potentiometric titration data within the 2.5–9.5 pH range yielded equilibrium constants for both systems. Several different complexes were separately considered during the calculation procedure for both systems, but evidence was found only for the mononuclear species ML. Speciation calculations based on the determined constants were then used to plan experiments with IR and UV spectroscopic techniques, which led to the determination of the related structures.     

Catalytic Hydrogenation over Palladium Complex of Molecular Complex of Poly(4-vinylpyridine) with Acetic Acid

The palladium complex of the molecular complex of poly(4-vinylpyridine)with acetic acid (PVP/HAc-Pd) was prepared.Its catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene was found much higher than that of the corresponding palladium complex of poly(4-vinylpyridine).In the presence of a strong inorganic alkali.especially potassium hydroxide.the catalytic activity is greatly improved.The suitable hydrogenation condition for PVP/HAc-Pd is to use 0.1mol/L ethanol solution of potassium hydroxide as the hydrogenation medium and the hydrogenation is carried out at 45 ℃。     

Complexation of N-bis[2-(1,2-dicarboxyethoxy)ethyl]aspartic acid with Cd(II), Hg(II) and Pb(II) ions in aqueous solution

The persistence of widely used chelating agents EDTA and DTPA in nature has been of concern and there is a need for ligands to replace them. In a search for environmentally friendly metal chelating ligands for industrial applications, complex formation equilibria of N-bis[2-(1,2-dicarboxyethoxy)ethyl]aspartic acid (BCA6) with Cd(II), Hg(II) and Pb(II) in aqueous 0.1 M NaNO₃ solution were studied at 25°C by potentiometric titration. Complexation was modeled and the stability constants of the different complexes were determined for each metal ion using the computer program SUPERQUAD. With all metal ions, stable ML^4? complexes dominated the complex formation. The stabilities of Cd(II), Hg(II) and Pb(II) chelates of BCA6 are remarkably lower than those of EDTA and DTPA. Environmental advantages of the use of BCA6 instead of EDTA and DTPA are better biodegradability and lower nitrogen content with a possibility to save chemicals and process steps in pulp bleaching.     

Nickel(II) complexes of oligopeptides containing aspartyl and glutamyl residues. Potentiometric and spectroscopic studies

Nickel(II) complexes of di-, tri- and tetra-peptides built up from Asp and/or Glu residues have been studied by potentiometric, UV–Vis and circular dichroism spectroscopic methods. The stoichiometry of the complexes are the same as in the case of common oligopeptides, but the presence of the side chain carboxylate groups results in differences in their stabilities and coordination modes. The presence of the β-carboxylate groups increases the metal binding affinity of the peptides in all cases. This is due to the coordination of the first, second and third aspartic acid residue in the case of the NiL, NiH₋₁L and NiH₋₂L complexes, respectively. The high negative charge of Asp₄ suppresses the metal ion coordination of the third amide function, therefore the NiH₋₃L complex does not form with this tetra-peptide. In the case of peptides containing glutamic acid, no stability enhancement appears because there is only a weak interaction between the nickel(II) ion and the γ-carboxylate group, which is not able to compensate the disfavoured effect of the increasing negative charge of the complexes.     

Complexation of N-bis[2-(1,2-dicarboxyethoxy)ethyl]aspartic acid with Fe(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) in aqueous solution

In a search for environment-friendly metal chelating ligands for industrial applications, the protonation and complex formation equilibria of N-bis[2-(1,2-dicarboxyethoxy)ethyl]aspartic acid (BCA6) with Fe(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) ions in aqueous 0.1 M NaCl solution were studied at 25°C by potentiometric titration. The model for complexation and the stability constants of different complexes were determined for each metal ion using SUPERQUAD. In all cases, complex formation was dominated by stable ML^4? complexes.

Preparation and characterization of Mg(II)-, Ca(II) and Cd(II) complexes of 1,2-ethanediol and water

Mixed ligand complexes of different compositions were prepared with water, sulfate ion and 1,2-ethanediol as ligand. IR spectra and the thermoanalytical curves of the complexes were recorded. Oxygen atoms bound by one or two coordinate bonds to the metal ion, or by hydrogen-bonds in the crystal, were observed. As for the water molecule, 1,2-ethanediol molecules of crystal and monohydrate type were found, depending on the type of binding of the oxygen atoms.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Analytical Separation of Copper(II), Cobalt(II) and Nickel(II) Using Polymer Bound Anthrantic Acid

Abstract

The preferential complexing tendency of different nietal ions towards chelating agents anchored on a polymer has been used for separation of transition metals. the anthranilic acid group was anchored on the polymeric cellulose back-bone by successive coupling with trifunctional reagent cyanuric chloride, in diozane medium, at pH 7 and 9–10, respectively. This polymer bound chelating agent was used to separate copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) in the concentration range 1.0–0.1 mmol/L. the separation of a mixture of two components was quantitative using column chromatography.     

Polarographic Determination of the Formation Constants of the Mixed Ligand Complexes of Cd(II) and Pb(II) with Thiosulphate and Halide Ions

The mixed ligand complexes of Cd(II) and Pb(II) with thiosulphate as a primary ligand and chloride, bromide of iodide (individually) as a secondary ligand have been polarographically, investigated at 30°C and at a constant ionic strength of μ = 1.0 M (NaClO₄). Two mixed ligand complexes were formed with the Cd(II) ion: log β₁₂ = 4.77, 5.30 and 6.78 for the chloride, bromide and iodide ions, respectively; and log β₂₁ = 5.36, 5.04 and 6.22 for the same ions. For the Pb(II)-Ts-Cl system, only one mixed ligand complex was formed with a log stability constant log β₂₁ =4.35. For the Pb(II)-Ts-Br system, three mixed ligand complexes are obtained with log β₁₁ = 3.63, log β₁₂ = 4.51 and log β₂₁ = 4.85.     

Selenophilicity of Copper in Selenium-Carbon Bond Formation from Selenous Acid Using Cu(II)/Sn(II) Reagent

A selenium transfer reaction from selenous acid to benzyl and alkyl halides is initiated in the presence of stannous chloride and a catalytic amount of cupric chloride resulting in the formation of the corresponding diorganoselenides and/or diorganodiselenides as the major products as indicated by ¹ H, ¹³ C, ⁷⁷ Se NMR, and MS. The reaction is characterized by a dual-metal effect at the selenium activation and transfer step. Thus, initial reaction of stannous chloride, cupric chloride, and selenous acid gives rise to α-Cu ₂ Se. Selenium transfer from the latter to the organic halide takes place with additional assistance of stannous chloride.

Two dinuclear copper(II) complexes have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic techniques (IR, UV-Vis, mass electro-spray) and thermogravimetric analysis.

Tuning Photophysical Properties by p-Functional Groups in Zn(II) and Cd(II) Complexes with Piperonylic Acid

Aggregation between discrete molecules is an essential factor to prevent aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ). Indeed, functional groups capable of generating strong hydrogen bonds are likely to assemble and cause ACQ and photoinduced electron transfer processes. Thus, it is possible to compare absorption and emission properties by incorporating two ligands with a different bias toward intra- and intermolecular interactions that can induce a specific structural arrangement. In parallel, the π electron-donor or electron-withdrawing character of the functional groups could modify the Highest Ocuppied Molecular Orbital (HOMO)–Lowest Unocuppied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) energy gap. Reactions of M(OAc)₂·2H₂O (M = Zn(II) and Cd(II); OAc = acetate) with 1,3-benzodioxole-5-carboxylic acid (Piperonylic acid, HPip) and 4-acetylpyridine (4-Acpy) or isonicotinamide (Isn) resulted in the formation of four complexes. The elucidation of their crystal structure showed the formation of one paddle-wheel [Zn(μ-Pip)₂(4-Acpy)]₂ (1); a mixture of one dimer and two monomers [Zn(µ-Pip)(Pip)(Isn)₂]₂·2[Zn(Pip)₂(HPip)(Isn)]·2MeOH (2); and two dimers [Cd(μ-Pip)(Pip)(4-Acpy)₂]₂ (3) and [Cd(μ-Pip)(Pip)(Isn)₂]₂·MeOH (4). They exhibit bridged (1, µ₂-η¹:η¹), bridged, chelated and monodentated (2, µ₂-η¹:η¹, µ₁-η¹:η¹ and µ₁-η¹), or simultaneously bridged and chelated (3 and 4, µ₂-η²:η¹) coordination modes. Zn(II) centers accommodate coordination numbers 5 and 6, whereas Cd(II) presents coordination number 7. We have related their photophysical properties and fluorescence quantum yields with their geometric variations and interactions supported by TD-DFT calculations.     

A study of polyamine complex formation with H+, Cu(II), Zn(II), Pb(II), and Mg(II) in aqueous solution

Summary The composition and stability of the following biogenic amine complexes have been investigated: 1,4-diaminobutane(Put), 4-azaoctane-1,8-diamine(Spd), 4,9-diazadodecan-1, 12-diamine(Spm) as well as homologues such as 1,3-diaminopropane(Put3), 4-azaheptane-1, 7-diamine(Spd3,3) and 4,8-diazaundecan-1,11-diamine(Spm3,3,3) with H⁺, Cu(II), Zn(II), Pb(II) and Mg(II). A potentiometric method was used. The VIS technique enabled the determination of coordination mode in copper/amine systems. It was found that Mg(II) does not form coordination compounds with any of the studied polyamines in solution. An increase in the concentration of ligand and metal was found to result in a stronger tendency towards the formation of protonated compounds accompanied by a decrease in the concentration of hydroxocomplexes. At physiologicalpH (7.4) an increase in the concentration of protonated compounds by approximately 15% was observed within the ligand concentration range from 0.001 mol dm^–3 to 0.0001 mol dm^–3 at a Cu(II) concentration of 0.000177 mol dm^–3.

Untersuchungen zur Komplexbildung von Polyaminen mit H⁺, Cu(II), Zn(II), Pb(II) und Mg(II) in wäßriger Lösung

Zusammenfassung Anhand einer Analyse von potentiometrischen Daten wurden Zusammensetzung und Beständigkeit folgender biogener Aminkomplexe untersucht: 1,4-Diaminobutan(Put), 4-Azaoktan-1,8-diamin(Spd), 4,9-Diazadodekan-1,12-diamin(Spm), sowie auch deren Homologen 1,3-Diaminopropan(Put3), 4-Azaheptan-1,7-diamin(Spd3,3) und 4,8-Diazaundekan-1,11-diamin(Spm3,3,3) mit H⁺, Cu(II), Zn(II), Pb(II) und Mg(II). Mit Hilfe der VIS-Technik wurde die Koordinationsweise in Kupfer/Amin-Systemen bestimmt. Es wurde festgestellt, daß Mg(II) keine Koordinationsverbindungen mit den untersuchten Polyaminen bildet. Eine höhere Konzentration von Ligand und Metall führte zu stärkerer Tendenz der Bildung protonierter Verbindungen, wobei die Konzentration von Hydroxokomplexen kleiner wurde. Bei physiologischempH (7.4) wurde im Bereich der Ligand-Konzentration von 0.001 mol dm^–3 bis 0.0001 mol dm^–3 bei einer Cu(II)-Konzentration von 0.000177 mol dm^–3 ein Anstieg der Konzentration protonierter Verbindungen um etwa 15% beobachtet.

     

Mononuclear and homobinuclear cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes with mono and bis-azocompounds derived from 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene and anthranilic acid or o-aminophenol

Two new series of mononuclear and homobinuclear Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes with mono- and bis-azo compounds derived from 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene and anthranilic acid or o-aminophenol are prepared and characterized by elemental and thermal analyses, conductance, IR, electronic, ESR spectra and magnetic moment measurements. The ligand field splitting parameters and Racah constant are calculated. The spectral and magnetic results obtained are utilized to determine the geometries around the metal(II) ion. The geometry of the complex formed depends on the structure of the ligand and the type of metal(II) ion. The mode of bonding of the ligand with the metal ions is deduced from IR spectra.     

Formation of Zinc(II) and Cadmium(II) Complexes with Pyridine Oxime Ligands in Aqueous Solution

Complex formation equilibria involving pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde oxime (1), 1-(2-pyridinyl)ethanone oxime (2) and 6-methylpyridine-2-carboxaldehyde oxime (3), HL, with zinc(II) and cadmium(II) ions were studied in aqueous 0.1 M NaCl solution at 25° C by potentiometric titrations with a glass electrode. Experimental data were analysed with the least-squares computer program SUPERQUAD to determine the complexes formed and their stability constants. With Ligands 1 and 2 the sets of complexes for Zn(II) and Cd(II) are essentially the same, mono- and dinuclear oxime complexes and their deprotonated/hydrolysed products H_pM_q(HL)^2q+p _r. Owing to the steric requirements of the 6-methyl group, sets of complexes formed with 3 are distinctly different. For zinc(II), only dinuclear oximato species H_pZn₂(HL)^4q+p ₂ ( p = ? 2, ? 3, ? 4) are found, while for the larger cadmium(II) ion mononuclear oximato species CdL⁺ and CdL₂ are detected in addition to the dinuclear complex H_pCd₂(HL)^4q+p ₂ ( p = ? 3).
