Ligating behaviour of amino acids towards lanthanide ions: studies in aqueous and non-aqueous medium

  • 1. Delhi Univ. (India). Dept. of Chemistry

Description

Amino acids add on to lanthanide chlorides in aqueous solution to give adducts of the type, Ln(L3)Cl3.3H2O, thereby retaining their zwitterion formation tendency. However, in non-aqueous medium, deprotonation occurs when amino acids are reacted with lanthanide isopropoxides. Conductometric studies show the former to be strong (1:3) electrolytes. Spectral data indicate that both of carboxylic oxygens in these complexes take part in coordination with metal ion. (author)
