Transfer Gibbs Energies of[Cr(Salen)(H2O)2]BPh4 From Water to Straight-chain Alkanol

Chromium(Ⅲ) is one essential nutrient that has been implicated as glucose tolerant factor(GTF) in the maintenance of normal carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Schiff base complexes of chromium (Ⅲ) such as N,N' -ethylenebis (Salicylideneiminato) diaquochromium (Ⅲ) chlorideCr(Salen)(H₂O)₂]Cl as a new kind of GTP model was shown to reduce the symptoms of diabetes significantly, hyperglycemia and cholesterol in diabetic rates^l]. After studied the decomposition and characterization ofCr(Salen)(H₂O)₂]Cl^2], a new confound ofCr(Salen)(H₂O)₂]BPh₄ is prepared and its transfer Gibbs energies(Δ_tr Go) from water to strait-chain Alkanols is studied in order to understand the thermodynamic properties ofCr(Salen)(H₂O)₂]⁺ in different solvents.
