Uchegbu and coworkers have studied the complexation and delivery of DNA using a unique poly(amino acid)-based polymer vesicle. A polymer of either poly (L-lysine) or poly(L-omithine) was functionalized with methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) and hydrophobic palmitic acid chains to synthesize an amphiphilic triblock of either mPEG-6-poly(L-lysine)-6-palmitoyl or mPEG-Z>-poly(L-omithine)-6-palmitoyl. Vesicles formed from these polymers were complexed with DNA and showed improved transfection in vitro over poly(amino acid) complexed with DNA or DNA alone [82]. 

Reeder and Rieger6 used ESR spectra to identify complex ions and to estimate formation constants for aqueous oxovanadium(iv) complexes with lactic acid, thiolactic acid, glycolic acid, and thioglycolic acid. Through the use of second-harmonic detection, which produces second-derivative spectra, the resolution was good enough that several of the individual species could be separately... 

A mixture of Pt(ll) and metallic Pt in an aqueous medium was shown to oxidize ethane to yield acetic and glycolic acids. A series of deuterium-exchange processes enabled a complex mechanism to be elucidated metallic platinum catalyzes the oxidation of intermediate alcohols to acid products, whereas the Pt(ll) salt activates the initial alkene (Scheme 7X29... 

The effect of the hydration radius of these cations is very important, and mobilities are sometimes very close or the same as for potassium and ammonium. For this reason, a complexing agent is added to the buffer. Several complexing agents such as a-hydroxyiso-butyric acid (HIBA), 18-crown-6, phthalic, malonic, tartaric, lactic, citric, oxalic, or glycolic acid may be used. 

The enthalpies and entropies of formation of mono-mandelato-complexes have been determined and, in comparison with other hydroxycarboxylic acid complexes, the enthalpy order of stabilization is lactate > a-hydroxyiso-butyrate mandelate > glycolate, whereas the entropy order of stabilization is glycolate > a-hydroxyisobutyrate > mandelate > lactate. The stability constants and enthalpy of formation of mono- and di-malonate complexes have also been measured.The mono-1,1-cyclopentanedicarboxylato-complexes are less stable than the corresponding malonate species. 

Reactions. Because it contains both a carboxyl and a primary hydroxyl group, glycolic- acid can react as an acid or an alcohol or both. Thus some of the important reactions it can undergo are esterification, umidation. salt formation, and complexation with metal ions, which lead to many of its uses. As a fairly strong acid it can liberate gases (often toxici when il reacts wilh Ihe corresponding salts. 

Glycolic acid is the simplest of these hydroxy acids. Metal complexes of this ligand with a wide variety of metal ions have been studied14-16,90-96 and their stereochemistry reviewed.86,871...

In contrast to the syntheses described above, leading to zwitterionic complexes based on the (SiOztC) ligand framework, a direct synthesis of SiOs-based zwitterions has also been reported simultaneous reaction of one equivalent of 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol and two equivalents of glycolic acid or 2,2-diphenylglycolic acid with tetramethoxysilane afforded the zwitterionic bis-glycolatosilicates 71 and 72 (equation 16)30.
