Complex Formation of 1,5-Bis(amidomethylsulfonyl)pentane with Copper(II) and Iron(III)

Abstract

© 2018, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. The state of the new antitubercular agent 1,5-bis(amidomethylsulfonyl)pentane in aqueous micellar solution of the nonionic surfactant Bridge 35 and its complexing properties toward copper(II) and iron(III) ions have been studied by spectrophotometry, pH potentiometry (25°C, variable ionic strength), and mathematical modeling. In the concentration range from 5.00 × 10–5 to 1.00 × 10–3 M in the presence of Bridge 35, the title compound exists in a neutral monomeric form. It forms 1: 2 mononuclear and 2: 2 binuclear complexes with copper(II) and 1: 1 and 1: 2 mononuclear and 2: 1 binuclear complexes with iron(III). The most favorable structures of 1,5-bis(amidomethylsulfonyl)pentane and its complexes have been simulated in terms of the density functional theory.
