“…The concentrations of free and complexed ligand in each solution were determined from reference solutions of the pure free ligand and Eu III complex. The log K c was determined as previously published from the reported stability constants for DTPA with Eu III ions, the complex’s hydrolysis constants, and the protonation constants of DTPA …”

Kinetically Inert Macrocyclic Europium(III) Receptors for Phosphate

The significant role that phosphate plays in environmental water pollution and biomedical conditions such as hyperphosphatemia highlights the need to develop robust receptors that can sequester the anion effectively and selectively from complex aqueous media. Toward that goal, four macrocyclic tris-bidentate 1,2-hydroxypyridonate (HOPO) europium(III) complexes containing either a cyclen, cyclam, TACN, or TACD ligand cap were synthesized and evaluated as phosphate receptors. The solubility of EuIII-TACD-HOPO in water was insufficient for luminescent studies. Whereas EuIII-cyclen-HOPO is eight coordinate with two inner-sphere water molecules, both EuIII-cyclam-HOPO and EuIII-TACN-HOPO are nine coordinate with three inner-sphere water molecules, suggesting that the two coordination states are very close in energy. As observed previously with linear analogues of tripodal HOPO complexes, there is no relationship between the number of inner-sphere water molecules and the affinity of the complex for phosphate. Whereas all three complexes do bind phosphate, EuIII-cyclen-HOPO has the highest affinity for phosphate with the anion displacing both of its inner-sphere water molecules. On the other hand, only one or two of the three inner-sphere water molecules of EuIII-TACN-HOPO and EuIII-cyclam-HOPO are displaced by phosphate, respectively. All three complexes are highly selective for phosphate over other anions, including arsenate. All three complexes are highly stable. EuIII-cyclen-HOPO and, to a lesser extent, EuIII-TACN-HOPO are more kinetically inert than the linear EuIII-Ser-HOPO. EuIII-cyclam-HOPO, on the other hand, is not. This study highlights the significant effect that minor changes in the ligand cap can have on both the ligand exchange rate and affinity for phosphate of tripodal 1,2-dihydroxypyridinonate complexes.
