“…where Ai and A2 are constants. Using the projected H-C-H geminal angle, , and the smaller vicinal angle, , the Karpins relations can be rewritten for the EDTA backbone pattern as /cc,BDTA = Ai cos2 ( + ) (4) Jcd'bdta = Ai cos2 (5) /dd'edta = Ai cos2 ( -) (6) Similarly, for the EDDA analog ( -cis isomer) /cc'BDDA = Ai cos2 (fc + ) (7) /cd-bdda = Ai cos2 (8) /dd'EDDA = Ai cos2 ( ß -o>d) (9) These relations have been used to calculate the values of , , , and , where the subscripts T and D refer to the backbone structures of the EDTA and EDDA complexes, respectively. The resulting values are , 52; , 95; , 50; andSn, 113°.…”
