Unexpected formation of a copper(ii) 12-metallacrown-4 with (S)-glutamic-γ-hydroxamic acid: a thermodynamic and spectroscopic study in aqueous solution

Abstract

The equilibria of copper(II) with (S)-glutamic-γ-hydroxamic acid (H2L) were investigated in aqueous solution by different techniques: glass electrode potentiometry; calorimetry; VIS and CD spectrophotometry; and ES-MS. An unexpected pentacopper(II) 12-metallacrown-4 [Cu5L4H−4]2− was detected, analogous to those well known formed by α- and β-aminohydroxamic acids, but of lower stability. Another five species were found: [CuLH]+; [CuL2H2]; [Cu2L2]; [CuL2H]; and [CuL2]2−. Their structures are proposed based on both spectroscopic and calorimetric data.
