Abstract
The interaction of a number of divalent and trivalent metal ions [iron(III), chromium(III) copper(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II)] with four isolated and purified microbial catecholate and hydroxamate siderophores was studied using the pH-potentiometric technique to investigate the complexation behavior of these systems as these systems could mimic many biological interactions of the siderophore chelating agent. The protonation constants of these new siderophore analogues as well their binary complex species stability constants were determined using the Hyperquad 2008 estimation model program. From the determined stability constants of the metal complex species, the concentration distribution of the various metal ion complex species involving isolated siderophore analogues in solutions was estimated using the HySS 2009 modeling program. The complex species distribution diagrams were plotted and discussed. Additionally, the Gibbs energies and the molecular structures of the formed complex species were evaluated and predicted using Gaussian 09 software for molecular modeling and density functional theory calculations.
