Evaluation of intensity and energy interaction parameters for the complexation of Pr(III) with selected nucleoside and nucleotide through absorption spectral studies.

The interactions of Pr(III) with nucleosides and nucleotides have been studied in different organic solvents employing absorption difference and comparative absorption spectrophotometry. The magnitudes of the variations in both energy and intensity interaction parameters were used to explore the degree of outer and inner sphere co-ordination, incidence of covalency and the extent of metal 4f-orbital involvement in chemical bonding. Various electronic spectral parameters like Slater-Condon (F(k)), Racah (E(k)), Lande parameter (ξ(4f)), Nephelauxatic ratio (β), bonding (b(1/2)), percentage covalency (δ) and intensity parameters like oscillator strength (P) and Judd Ofelt electronic dipole intensity parameter (T(λ), λ=2,4,6) have been evaluated.

Comparative 4f-4f absorption spectral study for the interactions of Nd(III) with some amino acids: Preliminary thermodynamics and kinetic studies of interaction of Nd(III):glycine with Ca(II).

Spectral analysis of Nd(III) complexes with some amino acids viz.; glycine, l-alanine, l-phenylalanine and l-aspartic acid in the presence and absence of Ca(2+) was carried out in some organic solvents; CH(3)OH, CH(3)CN, DMF and dioxane using comparative absorption spectra of 4f-4f transitions. The study was carried out by evaluating various energy interaction parameters like Slator-Condon (F(k)), Lande factor (ξ(4f)), nephelauxetic ratio (β), bonding parameter (b(1/2)), percent-covalency (δ) by applying partial and multiple regression analysis.

Computation of energy interaction parameters as well as electric dipole intensity parameters for the absorption spectral study of the interaction of Pr(III) with l-phenylalanine, l-glycine, l-alanine and l-aspartic acid in the presence and absence of Ca2+ in organic solvents.

Studying the absorption difference and comparative absorption spectra of the interaction of Pr(III) and Nd(III) with l-phenylalanine, l-glycine, l-alanine and l-aspartic acid in the presence and absence of Ca(2+) in organic solvents, various energy interaction parameters like Slater-Condon (F(K)), Racah (E(k)), Lande factor (xi(4f)), nephelauxetic ratio (beta), bonding (b(1/2)), percentage-covalency (delta) have been evaluated applying partial and multiple regression analysis. The values of oscillator strength (P) and Judd-Ofelt electric dipole intensity parameter T(lambda) (lambda = 2, 4, 6) for different 4f-4f transitions have been computed. On analysis of the variation of the various energy interaction parameters as well as the changes in the oscillator strength (P) and T(lambda) values reveal the mode of binding with different ligands.
