“…These values as well as the corresponding protonation constants are gathered in Table 1. These stability constants of the metal complexes with L 1 are compared to those reported (Table 4) in the literature for models such as L A (the amino-N,N-bis(methanephosphonate) unit of L 1 ) [56-58, 72, 73], EDTPA (noted L B , the phosphonate analogue of EDTA) [74], L E [75], L H [76,77], L I [61,72,78], L J [78] or DO2P (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,7-bis(methanephosphonate)). Importantly, ligand DO2P constitutes one of the most efficient phosphonate ligands for Cu(II) complexation described until now [43,44].…”
