PG - 2381-6 AB - A solution study on the ability of some derivatised sugars [glucuronic acid (GluA), galacturonic acid (GalA) and glucosaminic acid (GlNA)] to complex the Hg(II) ion is reported. The stability constants of the complex species were determined by potentiometric measurements while (1)H NMR experiments allow to define the coordination sites of sugar molecules. GluA coordinates the metal ion through the carboxylic oxygen and the O-4 hydroxyl group and is found to form more stable complexes with respect to GalA in which metal ligation is from the carboxylic oxygen and the O-5 ring oxygen. GlNA forms stable complexes chelating Hg(II) ion through carboxylic oxygen and the alpha-amino group. The ternary 2,2'-bipyridine containing systems were also investigated by means of potentiometric studies. The ML(2) complexes were also isolated in the solid state and characterised by IR spectroscopy.
