Abstract Stoichiometric reactions of metal hydroxycarbonates with the acid trans -1,2-cyclohexanediaminotetraacetic acid (H 4 CDTA) in water under reduced pressure yielded [Cu(H 2 CDTA)]·H 2 O ( I ) and [Ni(H 2 CDTA) (H 2 O)]·4H 2 O ( II ). Both compounds were characterized by TG-DTA analysis, spectral properties (IR, reflectance and RSE) and X-ray diffraction. In I the copper(II) atom exhibits a distorted square-base coordination (type 4+1) by chelation of one H 2 CDTA 2− ligand through two N and two O (carboxylate) at the square base and one O (carboxylic) at the apex of the coordination polyhedron; a second carboxymethyl group of H 2 CDTA 2− remains free. In II the H 2 CDTA 2− chelating …
