Metal Complexes in Biology and Medicine (Part – Metal (II) – α- Aminobutenoic Acid and Metal (II) – Hydroxyproline Binary Complexes)
The estimation of the stability or formation constants characterizing the equilibria corresponding to the successive addition of ligands provides a quantitative indication of a complex formation. The technique of paper ionophoresis is used to investigate equilibria in binary complex systems in solution. This method is based on the movement of a spot of metal ion in an electric field at various pH of background electrolyte. A graph of pH versus mobility was used to obtain information on the binary complexes and to calculate its stability constants. At an ionic strength of 0.1 M and 35ºC, the stability constants of ML and ML2 complex species of certain metal ions copper(II), manganese(II), and uranyl(II) with – α- Aminobutenoic acid and hydroxyproline were determined. The stability constants of ML and ML2 complex species of metal(II)-α-aminobutenoic acid and metal(II)– hydroxyproline were found to be [(7.70 ± 0.03, 6.38 ± 0.11), (3.19 ± 0.02, 2.07 ± 0.09), (7.32 ± 0.05, 5.49 ± 0.12)] and [(8.23 ± 0.05, 7.05 ± 0.03), (3.74 ± 0.06, 3.15 ± 0.09), (7.39 ± 0.11, 6.67 ± 0.02)] for copper(II), manganese(II) and uranyl(II) complexes, respectively. The electrophoretic technique described in this paper has proven to be useful in determining whether a complex system is formed or not, and if it is formed, its stability constants can also be determined.
