Sp. Kaiwar et al., TRANSITION-METAL SACCHARIDE CHEMISTRY - SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SOME MONOSACCHARIDE COMPLEXES, Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences. Chemical sciences, 106(3), 1994, pp. 743-752
Synthesis and characterization of mononuclear complexes of Mn(II), Co(
II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) with D-fructose and dinuclear complexes
of Cr(III) with D-glucose, D-fructose, and L-sorbose are reported. Cy
clic voltammetric studies of these complexes suggest their robustness
over a wide pH range. Cr(III)-saccharide complexes are found to affect
the structure of pSV2 neo DNA irreversibly.
