title: Binding of polyanions by biogenic amines. I. Formation and stability of protonated putrescine and cadaverine complexes with inorganic anions.
abstract: The formation and stability of proton diamine-inorganic anion [Cl(-), SO(4)(2-), HPO(4)(2-), P(2)O(7)(4-) and Fe(CN)(6)(4-)] complexes was studied potentiometrically [(H(+))-glass electrode] at 25 degrees C. Several general formula ALH(r) complexes are formed in these various systems. The stability of complexes formed between H(2)A(2+) and different anions ranges from one to six (log formation constants). The formation constants are slightly dependent on the length of the alkylic chain whilst they strongly depend on the anion charge. A general relationship [logK=-0.85+1.81z-0.055n] was found for the reaction H(2)A(2+)+L(z-)=ALH(2)((2-z)) [L=inorganic anions, A=NH(2)-(CH(2))(n)-NH(2) diamines with n=2...8].
