“…There are several reports on coordination of 4-hydroxypyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (H 3 chel or chelidamic acid) to metals, such as Fe(Hchel)Cl(H 2 O) 2 ]. (18-crown-6).2H 2 O (Zhou et al, 2007), [Zn(Hchel) Zhou et al, 2003), (tataH) 2 [Cu(Hchel) 2 .6H 2 O (tata: 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazine) (Ramos Silva et al, 2008), (Aghabozorg, Ilaie et al, 2008) [Cu(Hchel)(phen)(H 2 O)].4.5H 2 O (phen: phenanthroline) Aghabozorg, Manteghi & Sheshmani, 2008). Also, there are some reports on 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmp) coordinated to metallic ions like (King et al., 2005) and [Cu(HCO 2 ) 2 (dmp)(H 2 O)] (Lin et al, 2008).…”
