Influence of the method of synthesis on the composition and structure of copper(II) complexes with galactaric acid

The influence of the conditions and the method of synthesis on the composition of copper(II) complexes with galactaric acid (H₂Gala) has been studied. In aqueous and water-DMSO solutions, 1 : 1 complexes are formed. Depending on the procedure and conditions of the synthesis, CuGala · 4H₂O, Cu(HGala)₂ · 4H₂O, and (CuOH)₂Gala · 2H₂O compounds have been obtained. The structure of the coordination environment of the metal ion has been identified by IR spectroscopy.     

Effect of amalgamation on the passivation of transition metals in their anodic dissolution in tetrahydroadipic acid solutions

Effect of anode amalgamation on the degree of passivation of the electrodes and on the current efficiency in electrosynthesis of coordination compounds of copper(II), nickel(II), zinc(II), and cadmium(II) with galactaric acid was studied. An improvement of anodic synthesis characteristics was observed when amalgamated zinc, copper, and cadmium were used. Complex compounds of 1 : 1 composition were obtained and the structure of the coordination environment of the metal ion was determined by IR spectroscopy.     

Complex Formation by Galacturonic Acid with Copper(II) and Neodymium(III) Ions in Water Solution

Complex formation by galacturonic acid with copper(II) ion in water solution is studied by themethods of EPR spectroscopy. At the pH > 3 the EPR signal (g 2.174) confirms the complex formation at theligand carboxylic group. The following complex formation parameters are measured: equilibrium constant'g factor, hyperfine coupling constant, average complex lifetime. From the data of electron spectra invisible region the complex composition and stability constant is defined for copper(II) and neodymium(III).
