Abstract:
Using methionine and anhydrous ethanol as raw material, p-toluene sulfonic acid as catalyst, and benzene as a carrying water agent, methionine ester was first synthesized. Then, selenium-chelated methionine was prepared through the reaction of methionine ester with sodium selenite by a certain proportion, settling and crystallizing at lower temperature. The xi potential of the resultant was determined by micro-electrophoresis, through which the isoelectric point was calculated. Based on the principle of isoelectric point, it was separated and purified. The spectral properties of the resultant were analyzed by infrared spectrum, utraviolet spectrum, X ray diffraction analysis and 1H-NMR, from which we got the information of the resultant structure that has a hexagon composing of sulfur atom of methionine, nitrogen of amine and central selenium ion of four-valence.

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
