Study Notes
Amavadin
- Amavadin is a compound found in toadstools.
- It is thought to act as a peroxidase.
- Its role has not been fully explored.
Brønsted Acidity of Metal Aqua Complexes
- All metal ions are Lewis acids (electron pair acceptors).
- Their Lewis acidity increases across the periodic table and with increasing positive charge.
- The formation of metal aqua complexes results in the formation of a Brønsted acid (H3O+).
- The pKa of the solution depends on the Lewis acidity of the metal.
Chelating Ligands and Chelating Effect
- A multidentate ligand that coordinates to a metal ion using more than one donor atom is a chelating ligand.
- The resulting compound is a chelate complex.
- The chelating effect is the increased stability of a chelate complex compared to a complex with monodentate ligands.
- The chelating effect is driven by entropy as the number of particles increases in the reaction.
Ligands
- Ligands are atoms or molecules that can donate electrons to a metal ion.
- Common ligands include water, ammonia, carbon monoxide, fluoride ion, chloride ion, hydroxide ion, ethylenediamine (en), bis(ethylene)triamine (trien), cyanide ion, thiocyanate ion, nitrite ion, and nitrate ion.
- The denticity of a ligand is the number of donor atoms that can coordinate to a metal ion.
CuSarTATE
- CuSarTATE is a copper complex that can be used as a 64Cu radiotracer for imaging using positron emission tomography.
Ru Complex of Clotrimazole
- The Ru complex of clotrimazole is an antiparasitic agent against Trypanosoma cruzi.
