Am. Josceanu et al., CU(II) AND NI(II) COMPLEXING WITH 3 LUMINESCENT LIGANDS HAVING SIDE S-2,2'-BIPYRIDYL-2,2'-BIPYRIDYL-5-YL-METHYL)RU(II) GROUPS, Revista de chimie, 49(6), 1998, pp. 423-428
The complexing characteristics of three macrocyclic polyamines, bearin
g pyridyl)-2,2'-bypiridyl-5-yl-methyl}Ru(II)-pendent arms, towards Cu(
II) and Ni(II) in aqueous systems have been investigated by luminescen
ce quenching. There are large differences in the stability constants v
alues when compared to the corresponding complexes formed by the paten
t compounds 9N3, 12N4. This is explained using molecular models of the
free ligands and their transition metal complexes.
