Spectral studies on copper(II) complexes of biologically active glutathione
摘要:
Copper(II) complexes of reduced glutathione (GSH) of general composition Na[Cu(L)(X)] . nH(2)O (where LH2 = GSH; X = Cl-, NOT, NCS-, CH3CO2, HCO2-, ClO4 and n = 0-4) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, IR spectroscopy, EPR spectroscopy and ligand-field spectroscopy. The EPR and ligand field spectra in the solid state suggest planar geometry for all the complexes. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
