Complex formation of poly(amino acid)s and poly(amine)s with several metal ions has been studied by means of potentiometry, colorimetry, and spectrometry in aqueous solutions. In most cases, conformational change of the polymeric ligand is induced as the result of complex formation, leading to changes in reactivity. 

The order of stabilities derived from Raman spectra appears to be UOi+ > Np02+ > Pu02+. For aqueous solutions of U01+ there is a linear correlation between the frequency of the 0=U=0 symmetric stretch (i cm-1) and the average number of ligands so that the stoichiometries in solutions can be estimated. Complex formation leads to weakening of the U02+ axial bonds in the order OH" > CO " > C2O4" > F" > SO " and this order reflects the corresponding decrease in stability constants (log /3).4 The unstable UO2 ion disproportionates as follows ... 

Immunoassays using piezoelectric detectors coated with antigen or antibody had been devised as early as 1972 (Shons et al., 1972). The mass increase resulting from the immunological complex formation leads to a measurable change of the resonance frequency of the piezoelectric crystal. Effects of temperature and electronic noise can be eliminated by using a pair of crystals. Such sensors are only applicable in the dry state. 

The diazaborines were the first class of FabI inhibitors identified. Structural studies with the FabI enzymes from E. coli and B. napus reveal that these compounds form a covalent adduct with the NAD 2 -ribose hydroxyl group and that complex formation leads to ordering of the substrate-binding loop, a loop of amino acids that covers the active site in the ternary complex (Figure 24). The size of this loop is thought to correlate with... 

Synthetic and naturally occurring macrocyclic compounds complex with metal ions selectively both in aqueous and non-aqueous solvents. In non-aqueous solvents, such complex formation leads to anion desolvation and ion-pair separation. The novel chemistry of these macrocyclic compounds as well as their role in ion transport across cell membranes prompted the vigorous recent activity in this area of research (Christensen et al., 1971 Pedersen and Frensdorff, 1972 Lehn, 1973). 13C spectroscopy is used to obtain structural and configurational information on these systems as well as to investigate their molecular dynamics. 

They suggested that metal ion adsorption is initiated at a pH value corresponding to surface nucleation, which seems to relate to the reduction of cation-solvent interactions, as a result of hydrolysis or ligand complex formation, leading to conditions favorable to the adsorption of hydrated metal ions from solution. Their model suggests that metal ion hydrolysis enhances adsorption on Si02, whereas Schindler proposes direct participation by unhydrated ions. 

The application of infrared spectroscopy to the solution of such solvation problems is hampered to a certain extent by the fact that complex formation leads to the appearance of new, skeletal vibrations, the coupling of which with the vibrations of the original molecules makes the vibrational spectrum more complicated. The situation may similarly be complicated by other effects, such as changes in the orbital hybridization, back-coordination, etc. In the coordination of the solvent acetonitrile to metal ions, for example, if only the effect of coordination causing a decrease in the electron density on the nitrogen is taken into consideration, the frequency of the C—vibration would be expected to decrease. In fact, in the course of this process the coordination increases the a character of the C—bond, which is accompanied by an increase in the frequency of the C—vibration [Be 61]. In many cases, it is difficult to assign the infrared bands to the corresponding vibrations the conclusions drawn from the spectral data may therefore be uncertain. 

Similar to borax, boronic acid-containing polymers can also be used to crosslink polyhydroxy polymers, such as PVA. Kitano et al. reported the first example of an interpolymer complex based on boronate-diol interactions. The complex was formed by mixing a PVA solution and an alkali solution of poly(AI-vinyl-pyrrolidone-co-3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid). Complex formation leads to an increase in solution viscosity. Above a critical polymer concentration, the complex solution loses its fluidity to become a transparent gel. The authors later increased the solubility of the polymer under physiological and acidic aqueous conditions by incorporation a third comonomer, Af,Af-dimethylaminopropylacrylamide (DMAPAA). Therefore, an interpolymer complex can form at physiological pH. 

Derivatives of pyridine [248], derivatives of pyrimidine [249], pyrazine [250] and other substance classes contain lateral hydroxyl groups, which give rise to strong association effects. The formation of mesophases in binary systems of pyridine derivatives and carboxylic acids is a specific field of research [250a-253, 253 a, 253b]. In most cases complex formation leads to an increase in the length-to-breadth ratio, and different liquid crystalline phases can be induced. This is illustrated by the example shown in Figure 17 [250].

Acetylation of the e-amino group of lysozyme only slightly reduces the height of the catalytic hydrogen waves [109], and consequently this group does not participate in complex formation leading to formation of a catalyst. Some decrease in the catalytic activity of e-acetylated lysozyme is explained by a small diminution in its adsorbability on the electrode [110].
