“…Moreover, no studies appear to have been made on the ternary systems of the trivalent transition metal ions containing ATP and amino acid ligands. Continuing our studies on the mixed ligand complexes (Ahmed et al, 1996(Ahmed et al, , 1997(Ahmed et al, , 1998, this paper represents a systematic potentiometric study on the complex formation between some transition metal ions (Cu II , Ni II , Co II , La III , and Ce III ) and adenosine 5′-triphosphate, in the form of the disodium salt (H 2 L) 2-, as a primary ligand and some monocarboxylic as well as dicarboxylic amino acids (proline, lysine, histidine, asparagine, glutamine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid) as secondary ligands in aqueous media at (25 ( 0.1)°C. The structures of the ligands used in this study are…”
