Synthesis, solid state and solution studies of cobalt(II) complexes with 2-hydroxyiminopropanoic acid

2013

Abstract This paper describes the synthesis of the Zn(II) complex with H2L = 2-hydroxyiminopropanoic acid. The final structure incorporated two linear dimeric anions with two Zn2+ atoms, which are linked by a carbonate anion into a tetranuclear unit. In each dinuclear unit, the two Zn(II) ions are coordinated by three molecules of the doubly deprotonated ligand in two different coordination modes. This result is confirmed both by X-ray crystallography and by ESI-MS investigations of the crystals dissolved in water. Equilibrium studies of the zinc(II) complexes formed by H2L in aqueous solution based on independent pH-metric titrations and zinc ion-selective electrode (ISE) titrations indica…

A study of dimethyltin(IV)-L-cysteinate in aqueous solution

1988

The in vivo activity of some R2Sn-L-cysteinate complexes (R = Me, Et, n-Bu) against murine P-388 leukaemia has been tested. Only the Et2Sn(IV) complex showed a marginal positive effect. Trigonal bipyramidal tin environments with two carbon (R) atoms and the sulfur atom in the equatorial plane and oxygen (carboxylate) and nitrogen (NH2) in apical positions have been proposed for the solid compexes (R = Me, Et, n-Bu, Ph) on the basis of experimental Mossbauer parameters and infrared (IR) data. Aqueous solutions of the Me2SnL-cysteinate have been studied by IR, 1H NMR and 119Sn Mossbauer spectroscopy (in frozen solution) at different pH values to identify the Me2Sn(IV) species present. At pH >…

Speciation of Organic Matter in Natural Waters-interaction of polyacrylates and polymethacrylates with major cation components of seawater

2004

Abstract The speciation of some high molecular weight polycarboxylates was studied in different ionic media. Polyacrylates here investigated ( W =2.0, 5.1 and 20.0 kDa) form weak species with alkali metal cations ( K =10 2 mol l −1 , t =25 °C, I =0 mol l −1 ) and quite stable complexes with alkaline earth metal cations ( K >10 6 mol l −1 , t =25 °C, I =0 mol l −1 ). Results are reported from experiments performed in a multicomponent electrolyte solution simulating the major composition of seawater (artificial seawater). Protonation constants in this medium are expressed as a polynomial function of S 1/2 ( S =salinity) and the sharp lowering with respect to values obtained in non-interacting…

The interaction of amino acids with the major constituents of natural waters at different ionic strengths

2000

Abstract The interaction of amino acids with the major constituents of natural waters has been studied potentiometrically by determining protonation constants at different ionic strengths (e.g., I ≤5.6 mol (kg H 2 O) −1 (NaCl)) and in artificial seawater (containing Na + , K + , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Cl − and SO 4 2− ) at different salinities. For glycine determinations in mixed NaCl–MgCl 2 , electrolyte solutions were also performed. The data included in this work, together with some already published, make it possible to calculate parameters for dependence on ionic strength using different models, i.e. an extended Debye–Huckel type equation and Pitzer equations. The results can be interpreted b…

Polyacrylate Protonation in Various Aqueous Ionic Media at Different Temperatures and Ionic Strengths

2000

The protonation constants of the polyacrylate anion (molecular mass 2000 Da) in Et4NI, Me4NCl, LiCl, LiNO3, NaCl, NaNO3, and KCl aqueous solution, were determined in a wide range of ionic strengths. A three-parameter approximation was used to express protonation constants as a function of the dissociation degree α, and their dependence on ionic strength was considered using a simple polynomial expansion. Differences in log KH between different data in different media were interpreted in terms of weak complex formation between polyacrylate and alkali metal cations. Measurements were also performed at different temperatures (15 ≤ T/°C ≤ 55) in order to calculate enthalpy and entropy changes f…

Calculation of the pH and the titratable acidity in clinically used infusion solutions.

2006

Clinically used infusion solutions are complex aqueous mixtures composed of a variety of different salts, acids, and non-electrolytes, and are characterized by composition, initial pH, and titratable acidity (TA). By rigorous treatment as a multi-composed acid-base system, pH and TA were calculated from proton dissociation equilibria, mass balance equations and electroneutrality condition. Nine were arbitrarily chosen as model solutions in which pH and TA were experimentally determined. From composition, and based on a set of apparent acidity constants (pK values) at 37 degrees C and total ionic strength 0.155 mol/l, pH was calculated by iteration. In the model solutions, measured pH was in…

Synthesis and characterization of acetazolamide complexes of Ni(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), and Ag(I)

1989

The preparation and characterization of K2Ni2(Acm)3·5H2O, Cd(Acm)·32 H2O, Hg(Acm)·12H2O, Ag2(Acm), and Ag2(Acm)(NH3) complexes are described. The spectral properties suggest that Acm interacts with the metal ions through the doubly deprotonated form as observed in the [Cu(Acm)(NH3)2(OH2)]2·2H2O complex, whose crystalline structure has been previously reported. The crystal field parameters of the Ni(II) complex indicate an octahedral environment for the metal ion in the solid and its aqueous, DMSO, and DMF solutions. UV spectra of all the Acm complexes until now synthesized are discussed.

INTERACTIONS OF ORGANOTIN(IV) HALIDES WITH REDUCED GLUTATHIONE IN AQUEOUS-SOLUTION

1993

Abstract Glutathione (GSH) is a compound extremely common among many living organisms in which it plays a fundamental role in the processes of detoxification. Also, organotin(IV) derivatives are more and more commonly used in technological processes or as antitumor drugs. So it seemed interesting to investigate the possible interactions between GSH and organotin compounds in water. Particularly, it has been studied because of its role in the organic radicals linked to the tin center on the stoichiometry and the structure of the adducts. Information was obtained following the reaction between Me n SnCl 4-n (n = 1 to 3) and GSH by Mossbauer and NMR spectroscopies on the assumption that change…
