RESUMO

The study of binary complexes of Al(III) with sulfur amino acids (methionine, cysteine, homocysteine and penicillamine) and phosphate ligands (adenosine 5 - triphosphate and phosphocreatine) was done in aqueous solution applying potentiometric titrations, (13)C and (27)Al NMR, Raman spectroscopy, molecular modeling and DFT: B3LYP/6-311G theoretical calculations of the vibrational spectra. The potentiometric titrations and (13)C and (27)Al NMR were performed only for the complexes with amino acids. The potentiometry was used to determine the stability constants of the Al(III)-amino acid binary complexes and the distribution graphs of their species. The comparison between the values obtained for the constants revealed a distinct behavior for the Al-Penicillamine complex, with higher stability constants than the other complexes. It is suggested that penicillamine might act as a tridentate ligand through the oxygen of the carboxylate, the nitrogen of the amine and the sulfur of the sulfhydryl, while others act as bidentate ligands coordinating through the oxygen of the carboxylate and the nitrogen of the amine. The graphs of the species distribution in function of pH showed that in biological pH there is a predominance of hydrolyzed species of the metal and the complex. Raman and (13)C NMR spectroscopy associated with theoretical calculations confirmed the coordination sites proposed for the amino acids. (27)Al NMR and molecular modeling showed that the geometry adopted by the metal center is distorted octahedral. For phosphate ligands, Raman spectroscopy, molecular modeling and theoretical calculations indicated that the geometry of adenosine 5 - triphosphate complex can be distorted octahedral with the ligand behaving as bidentate through one oxygen atom of each terminal (beta) and (gamma) phosphates. Nevertheless, for the phosphocreatine complex the geometry seems to be a distorted tetrahedron with the ligand behaving as a tridentate, one coordinating through one of the oxygens in the phosphate, the oxygen in the carboxylate and the nitrogen in the guanidine group. These results bring to light the multiplicity of ligand behaviors in the complexation with Al(III).
