Coordination Selectivity in the Fe(II) Complex with 8-Hydroxy-7-[(2-hydroxy-5-carboxyphenyl)azo]-5-quinolinesulfonic Acid
摘要:
The coordination of the title ligand (hcqs) to Fe(II) has been studied on the basis of its electronic absorption spectral characteristics, equilibrium, and stopped-flow kinetics in comparison with those of the related ligands. The bifunctional hcqs coordinates to Fe(II) not with a quinolinol (O–N) moiety, but selectively with a dihydroxyazo (O–N–O) one. The reaction mechanism of hcqs with Fe(II) and the thermodynamic stability of the complex are also discussed.
