title: Spectroscopic characterization of 2-isopropylmalic acid-aluminum(III) complex.
abstract: Spectroscopic elucidation of a 2-isopropylmalic acid (2-iPMA)-aluminum(III) complex has been carried out using (1)H, (13)C and (27)Al NMR spectroscopy, diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). 2-iPMA is secreted by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and can dissolve Al(III) in the culture medium. The (1)H chemical shift perturbation and (1)H DOSY clearly indicated the formation of the 2-iPMA-Al(III) complex. The measurements of (13)C and (27)Al NMR spectroscopy and ESI-MS demonstrated that the major form of a complex is comprised four 2-iPMA and two Al(III) species. This compound is expected to possess strong Al(III)-detoxification capability.
