Abstract
N,N‘-ethylenedi-l-cysteine (EC) and its indium(III) and gallium(III) complexes have been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structures of the ligand and the complexes have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. EC·2HBr·2H2O (C8H22Br2N2O6S2) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P21212 with a = 12.776(3) Å, b = 13.735(2) Å, c = 5.1340 (10) Å, Z = 2, and V = 900.9(3) Å3. The complexes Na[M(III)EC]·2H2O (C8H16MN2O6S2Na) are isostructural for M = In and Ga, crystallizing in the tetragonal space group P42212 with the following lattice constants for In, (Ga): a = 10.068(2) Å, (9.802(2) Å), b = 10.068(2) Å, (9.802(2) Å), c = 14.932(2) Å, (15.170(11) Å), Z = 4 (4), and V = 1513.6(5) Å3, (1457.5(11) Å3). In both metal complexes, the metal atoms (In and Ga) are coordinated by six donor atoms (N2S2O2) in distorted octahedral coordination geometries in which two sulfur atoms and two nitrogen atoms occupy the equatorial positions, and the axial positions are occupied by two oxygen atoms of two carboxylate groups. The structures of the complexes previously predicted by molecular mechanics are compared with the crystal structures of the Ga(III) and In(III) complexes obtained experimentally. In contrast to the oxygen donors in phenolate-containing ligands, such as 1,2-ethylenebis((o-hydroxyphenyl)glycine) (EHPG) and N,N‘-bis(o-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N‘-diacetic acid (HBED), the thiolate donors of EC enhances affinity for In(III) relative to Ga(III). The following stability sequence has been obtained: In(III) > Ga(III) ≫ Ni(II) > Zn(II) > Cd(II) > Pb(II) > Co(II). Evidence was also obtained for several protonated and hydroxo species of the complexes of both divalent and trivalent metals, where the corresponding protonation constants (KMHL) decrease with increasing stability of the chelate, MLn-4, where Mn+ represent the metal ion.Keywords
