“…Moreover, these acids and their ability to complexation with biologically active d-electron metal ions may be useful to design new generation drugs. These types of complexes can be suitable in chelation therapy for metal ions such as copper(II) ions [33][34][35]. The presence of an asymmetric hydroxyl group relative to the carboxyl group offers the opportunity to create different ion-dipol orientations in complex formation with metal ions: mononuclear and polynuclear species [24,36].…”
Binary complexes of α-hydroxy acids (L-Tartaric acid and L-Malic acid) with d-electron metal ions (copper, cobalt, nickel) were investigated. Potentiometric measurements have been performed in aqueous solution with computer analysis of the data for determination of the stability constants of complexes formed in the studied systems. The coordination mode of the complexes was defined using spectroscopic methods: electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), circular dichroism (CD), and infrared (IR). Results of the equilibrium studies have provided evidence for the formation of dimers with copper(II) ions and monomers with cobalt(II) and nickel(II) ions.

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.
