Abstract:KEYWORDSThe complexing properties of 2,6-diaminopyridine (DAP) with cadmium(II) were investigated via measuring pH (i.e., pH-metrically). Binary and ternary complexes of Cd(II) involving DAP and various biologically relevant ligands are investigated. The ligands used (L) were amino acids, dicarboxylic acids, amides and DNA unit constituents. The ternary complexes are formed by simultaneous reactions. The results showed the formation of Cd(DAP)(L) complexes with amino acids and dicarboxylic acids. Amides form b… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
