Abstract:
The reactions of picoline-2-aldehyde thiosemicarbazone (PATS) with silver, mercury, iron(II) and cobalt have been investigated in various environments. The compositions of the complexes have been investigated by continuous variation and molar ratio methods. Stability constants have been evaluated by means of SCOGS and a new program SQUAD. The formation constants, measured at 25 degrees and 0.10M ionic strength were as follows: Ag(PATS), logbeta(101) = 13.40; HgH(PATS), log beta(1110) = 23.6; HgH(2)(PATS)(2), log beta(1220) = 42.1; HgH(2)(PATS)(EDTA), log beta = 44.0; FeH(3)(PATS)(3), log beta(133) = 44.9; FeH(2)(PATS)(3), log beta(123) = 41.7; FeH(PATS)(3), log beta(113) = 38.4; Fe(PATS)(3), log beta(103) = 34.2. A tentative value for a cobalt complex is also suggested. A computer program, suitable for calculation of optimum conditions for a chemical analysis is also introduced and its use is illustrated for the silver-PATS-EDTA system.

Phase II Reactions: Miscellaneous Conjugation Reactions
A key example involves the conjugation of cyanide ions, which impair cellular respiration and alter hemoglobin into non-oxygen-carrying cyanmethemoglobin. To neutralize this threat, a sulfur atom from thiosulphate is transferred to the cyanide ion, catalyzed by the enzyme rhodanese, resulting in an inactive compound called thiocyanate. The production of...

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
