1.2- Diaminocyclohexanetetraacetic acid

Among many ligands used for simultaneous ion chromatography of metals, the most common eluents used are oxalic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, 4-(2-pirydylazo)resorcinol (PAR), pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (PDCA), a-hydroxyi-sobutyric acid (HIBA), 1,2-diaminocyclohexanetetraacetic acid (DCTA), diethylenetriarninepentaacetic acid (DTPA), and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).

Another class of Mn( III) complexes involves the polyaminocarboxylic acid ligands. The earliest study appeared in 1962 ( 44) and was followed shortly by studies of the cyclohexane analog of EDTA as well as other derivatives of EDTA (45). A recent paper discusses the reactivity of the manganese (III )-diaminocyclohexanetetraacetate complex with hydrogen peroxide (46). A mechanism is proposed which involves complexation by the peroxide anion followed by subsequent electron transfer to produce the Mn(II) complex and the H02 radical. The results are interesting and indicate the potential for selective catalysis by the higher oxidation state manganese complexes. 

An analysis of the time course of luminescence emission following selective laser excitation has enabled the forward and reverse rate constants to be obtained for the equilibrium between the Eu" complex of 1,2-diaminocyclohexanetetraacetate, [Eu(DCTA)], and iminodiacetate, IMDA, to form the ternary complex [Eu(DCTA)(IMDA)] . Some other systems in which chemical interconversion processes occur at rates much greater than, or much slower than, the reciprocal excited-state lifetime of the Eu" -containing species were also examined. A matrix isolation e.s.r. study has appeared of the photoreduction of the formato-complex of Eu " in a formic acid-sodium formate buffer. A three-step cyclic scheme has been suggested to explain the observations, namely photoreduction of by Eu, radical alternation from H to C02 , and oxidation of CO2 by Eu ". ...
