Structures and magnetic properties of transition metal complexes of 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid

Trimesic acid coated alumina: An efficient multi-cyclic adsorbent for toxic Cu(II)

“…This complexation results in crystalline structure which was observed from the SEM image. The favourable surface complexation of Cu 2+ with TMA functional groups also reported in other studies [18,29]. Beyond pH 5, Cu 2+ removal increased very little, about 2-4% up to pH 7.…”

“…Hence, the need of efficient ligands. The co-ordination behaviour of TMA with Cu 2+ ion has been reported earlier [18]. It has also been found that TMA acts as a multidentate ligand for various divalent and trivalent metal ions [19].…”

“…It has also been found that TMA acts as a multidentate ligand for various divalent and trivalent metal ions [19]. TMA can exhibit different types of binding mode, resulting various 3D structure [18][19][20]. Moreover, no such studies were found before where aromatic carboxylated acids like TMA were used as an adsorbent for divalent toxic cations.…”

A comparative metal ion adsorption study by trimesic acid coated alumina: A potent adsorbent

“…Due to its rigidity and strong co-ordination ability of three equally spaced carboxylate groups, metal centres can strongly bind with organic ligands [7]. The coordination behaviour of TMA with metal ions has been reported earlier [7][8][9]. In addition, the low pk a value of TMA (pk a1 = 2.84) keeps it in dissociated form in pH range generally found in wastewater.…”

Synthesis, crystal structure and ferro-magnetic interaction of a binuclear copper(II) complex with the 1,4-dinitro-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylatobenzenic anion as bridging ligand

“…In order to understand the magnetic interaction between bridging metal ions many complexes with different bridging ligands have been prepared and their magnetic properties have been studied, in which special attention has been paid to the complexes with polycarboxylatobenzenic anions as bridging ligands [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. However, the complexes with DTB as bridging ligand have not been published up to now.…”
