Sparingly water soluble complexes of lead(II), cadmium(II), and zinc(II) with Nphosphonomethylglycine (glyphosate, NPMG) of the general formulae C 3 H 6 O 5 NPPb, C 3 H 6 O 5 NPCd Á 2H 2 O, and C 3 H 6 O 5 NPZn were synthesized. The complexes were also precipited from a dilute Roundup solution, and their solubility in water was determined. Thermal, diffractometric, and IR spectrophotometric analyses were carried out. It was found that the metal is bonded to glyphosate through the oxygen atoms of the carboxylic and phosphonate groups; metal-nitrogen binding is absent in the above compounds. Studying the complexing behaviour in solution by UV spectrophotometry pointed out that a complex of the composition Pb(II) : NPMG 1:1 with an absorption band at 232 nm is formed. Its stability constant as determined by Job's method is logK 5.9AE0.1. Using potentiometric techniques, the dissociation constant of N-phosphonomethylglycine and the stability constants of its complexes with cadmium (II) and zinc (II) were determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
