Abstract In the present study solution and coordination chemistry of copper(II)–alkyl- N -iminodiacetate systems are studied in aqueous by potentiometry, using ion selective copper pH electrodes, EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure) dye probe molecular spectrophotometry. Alkyl- -iminodiacetates with varying alkyl chain length, methyl (CH 3 –), n -hexyl (C 6 H 13 -dodecyl 12 25 –) -o...

Objectives/Goals The goals of this project were to determine a) whether Copper-induced oxidation of Bilirubin leads to the bluish black pigment noted in Pigmented Gallstones in patients with hemolysis, b) the structures of the species involved, and c) what other metals participate in the formation of the stones. Methods/Materials Materials: Bilirubin (BR), Copper, Zinc and Calcium salts, Potass...

The copper complexes of histidinecontaining peptides naturally occurring in blood plasma [1,2] can be used as a model for metal/protein interactions.In fact a low molecular weight peptide containing histidine or even histidine itself may compete with ceruloplasmin for copper in the blood, significantly altering free ligand levels. For this reason, the coordination behaviour of the histidine moi...

The removal of copper from aqueous solution by Amberjet 1500H, Amberjet 1300H and Amberlite IRC86 ion exchange resins is described. The Amberjet 1500H shows a remarkable increase in sorption capacity for copper compared to other adsorbents. The adsorption process shows maximum removal of copper in pure aqueous solution for an initial copper concentration of 5.98 mmol/L. The metal ions adsorptio...

Mixed ligands biologically active complexes of cobalt(II), copper(II) and nickel(II) with nicotinoylhydrazine-derived ONO, NNO and SNO donor schiff-base ligands having the same metal ion but different anions such as sulphate, nitrate, oxalate and acetate have been synthesised and characterised on the basis of their physical, analytical and spectral data. In order to evaluate the role of anions ...

CP12 is a small chloroplastic protein involved in the Calvin cycle that was shown to bind copper, a metal ion that is involved in the transition of CP12 from a reduced to an oxidized state. In order to describe CP12's copper-binding properties, copper-IMAC experiments and site-directed mutagenesis based on computational modelling, were coupled with top-down MS [electrospray-ionization MS and MS...

a new method for the determination of trace copper(ii) in food samples by cloud point extraction(cpe) combined with flame atomic absorption spectrometry(faas) is presented and evaluated. the method is based on the fact that hydrophobic complex of copper(ii) with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (ddtc) was formed at ph 6.0 and subsequently the hydrophobic complex was extracted into surfactant-rich ...

In the title binuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu2(ClO4)2(OH)2(C10H8N2)2], the Cu(II) ion is coordinated in the form of a Jahn-Teller distorted octahedron by two bi-pyridine N atoms, two perchlorate O atoms and two hydroxide O atoms, and displays a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The mol-ecule belongs to the symmetry point group C 2h . The Cu(II) ion is located on a twofold rotation axis and the h...

The aqueous solubility of oxyanion (e.g. phosphates and arsenates), and thereby their mobility, bioavailability (phosphates) and toxicity (arsenates), in soils and sediments is dependent upon their chemical speciation. In complex, multicomponent systems, equilibrium modelling can be a useful tool to predict chemical speciation. When establishing a model, it is essential to understand the intera...
