Abstract: | Metal complexes of N-substituted amino acids provide simple but appropriate model compounds for the understanding of metal protein interactions. Seven complexes of copper viz. Cu(II) N-acetyl glycinate mono-hydrate, Cu(II) N-acetyl methioninate, Cu(II) N-acetyl alaninate, Cu(II) N-acetyl valinate, Cu(II) N-acetyl glutamate, Cu(II) cyanoacetate, and Cu(II) thio-dipropionate, have been investigated by EPR measurements. The spectra appear to arise from dimeric coppers (s=1) coupled by anti-ferromagnetic exchange. The exchange coupling constant ‘2J’ and the CuCu separation ‘r’ have been evaluated from the spectral data. Although the existence of bridged structure is confirmed, super-exchange via the ligands appears to be the dominant mechanism. All of these complexes exist as monomers in strongly coordinating solvents. |
