The [Cu(L) 2 ] ÁH 2 O, [Co(L) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ], [Mn(L) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ] Á2H 2 O and [Fe(L) 3 ] Á5H 2 O complexes for HL = g-L-glutamyl-5-(m-nitroanilide)were synthesized and their spectral, magnetic and thermal properties were investigated. The thermal stability in the 20 -500°C temperature ranges of the synthesized complexes is discussed. In all of the studied complexes g-L-glutamyl-5-(m-nitroanilide) acts as a bidentate ligand with coordination involving the carboxylate oxygen and the nitrogen atom belonging to the amino group of the g-L-glutamyl fragment. The local structure around the Cu(II) ion is pseudotetrahedral. In the Co(II), Mn(II) and Fe(III) complexes the metal ions are in the high-spin form with an octahedral stereochemistry.
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.
