Eg. Afonin et al., IR study of complexes of bivalent metals with 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid [(C2H5)(2)NH2](2)[M(H2O)(2){CH3C(OH)(PO3H)(2)}(2)], RUSS J G CH, 70(11), 2000, pp. 1731-1736
A series of isostructural metal complexes with 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosph
onic acid H4L of the composition [(C2H5)(2)NH2](2)[M(H2O)(2)(H2L)(2)], M =
Mg, Mn, Co, Ni, Zn, Cu, were studied by IR spectroscopy. The dependence of
the stretching frequencies of the monodentate phosphonate group PO3H- of th
e ligand on the nature of the M . . .O(P) bond was discussed.
