A method, involving the use of an advanced paper ionophoretic technique is described for the study of equilibria in mixed complex systems in solution. The method is based on the migration of a spot of metal ion, with the complexants added in the background electrolyte. The concentration of one of the complexants, methylcysteine, is kept constant while that of the second ligand, cysteine, is var...

Mixed-Ligand Complexes, Stacking Interactions, 2,2'-Bipyridyl, 3-Phenylpropionate, Carboxymethyl Aryl Sulfides The stability constants of ternary Cu2+ and Zn2+ complexes, each of which contains 2,2'-bipyridyl and a carboxymethyl aryl sulfide, were determined in 50% aqueous dioxane. A comparison of the stability of these ternary complexes with those formed with simple carboxylates demonstrates a...

Mixed cryoprotectants have been developed for the solubilization of ligands for crystallization of protein-ligand complexes and for crystal soaking. Low affinity lead compounds with poor solubility are problematic for structural studies. Complete ligand solubilization is required for co-crystallization and crystal soaking experiments to obtain interpretable electron density maps for the ligand....

We used photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) to study how the terminal ligands influence the electronic structure and redox properties of the [4Fe-4S] cubane in several series of ligand-substituted analogue complexes: [Fe(4)S(4)Cl(4-x)(CN)(x)](2-), [Fe(4)S(4)Cl(4-x)(SCN)(x)](2-), [Fe(4)S(4)Cl(4-x)(OAc)(x)](2-), [Fe(4)S(4)(SC(2)H(5))(4-x)(OPr)(x)](2-), and [Fe(4)S(4)(SC(2)H(5))(4-x)Cl(x)](2-) (x = 0...

The multitopic ligand O,O'-bisnicotinic acid tetraethylene glycol, L, was designed for the coordination of two distinct types of metal ions. In this work, we describe how the O-donor part of L is used to coordinate to alkaline earth metal ions and that the N-donor atoms of L bind to group 11 elements. This makes L a suitable ligand for the combination of both metal ion types within the same com...

the reaction of an equivalent of 2- mercaptoethyl ammonium chloride with an equivalent of 2,6-diformyl -4- methyl phenol produced monoamine which was reacted with half equivalent of 1,2-diamine ethane to produce ethylene-bis-6-(2-mercapto-ethyl-imine)-methyl -4- methyl phenol [h4l]. the ligand was reacted with metal ions[cr(iii), mn(ii), fe(ii), co(ii), ni(ii), cu(ii), zn(ii), cd(ii), and hg(ii...

The complexation reactions between diacetyl monooxime (Damo), imidazole (Him), histamine (Hist) and histidine (His) with Co2+, Ni2+ and Cu2+ were studied potentiometrically in aqueous solution at 25 °C and m= 0.5 M KNO3. The overall stability constants log b's of species were obtained by computer refinement of p...

The two new complexes Ag(L1) L2(PF6)2[Complex (1) and Cu(L1) L2(PF6)2[Complex (2)] containing bioactive mixed ligand of typeL1=8-Hydroxyquinoline and L2=1,10Phenanthroline have been synthesized and characterized by analytical and spectral methods. The binding constant of the complexes in 5 mM Tris-HCl/50 mM NaCl buffer at pH 7.2, are 25.79 x 10 Mand 9.95 x 10 Mfor complex (1) and (2) respective...

Azido Coordination, Imidazole Adducts, Structural Interconversion A number of mixed-ligand complexes of cobalt(III) containing coordinated azide ion, acetylacetonate anion and the neutral base imidazole and, having the general formula [Co(acac)2(N3)(Im)] (Im = imidazole or its derivatives) have been synthesised by the reaction of K[rrans-Co(acac)2(N3)2] with the biologically active ligand imida...
