The synthesis conditions of quercetin-8-sulfonic acid and sodium salt of sulfonated quercetin were determined. The molecular formulae of obtained compounds are: C 15 H 10 O 10 SÁ4H 2 O and C 15 H 9 O 10 SNaÁ4H 2 O. On the basis of spectral methods UV-Vis, IR, and 1 H NMR it was stated that the sulfonation of quercetin occurs at 8-C position of the A ring. The complexing properties of Na-QSA-8 were confirmed by synthesis of a solid complex with Fe(II) ions. The NaQSA-8 formed a complex with Fe(II) ions at pH 5 with the metal excess (c M :c L = 7:1). The chelation site was analyzed using spectroscopy methods. It was found that chelation of the metal ions occurs at the 4C=O, 3-OH and 3 0 -OH, and 4 0 -OH sites of the molecule NaQSA-8. Thermal decomposition of the compounds was carried out in air and nitrogen gas carries. The TG-FTIR-MS technique was employed to study decomposition pathway. The dehydration process was discussed in relation to of the nature of water contained in the compounds.
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.
