title: Coordination properties of tridentate (N,O,O) heterocyclic alcohol (PDC) with Cu(II). Mixed ligand complex formation reactions of Cu(II) with PDC and some bio-relevant ligands.
abstract: The formation equilibria of copper(II) complexes and the ternary complexes Cu(PDC)L (PDC=2,6-bis-(hydroxymethyl)-pyridine, HL=amino acid, amides or DNA constituents) have been investigated. Ternary complexes are formed by a simultaneous mechanism. The results showed the formation of Cu(PDC)L, Cu(PDC, H(-1))(L) and Cu(PDC, H(-2))(L) complexes. The concentration distribution of the complexes in solution is evaluated as a function of pH. The effect of dioxane as a solvent on the protonation constant of PDC and the formation constants of Cu(II) complexes are discussed. The thermodynamic parameters DeltaH degrees and DeltaS degrees calculated from the temperature dependence of the equilibrium constants are investigated.
