Lead(II) and cadmium(II) each form a 1:1 complex with DTPA. Nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectroscopy was used to show that each complex has three metal–nitrogen bonds and labile metal–oxygen bonds to terminal acetate groups. The latter lead to proton equivalence for the methylene protons of the terminal acetate groups of the lead complex, and near equivalence for those of the cadmium complex. The central carboxylate group is coordinated to the lead but not to the cadmium. Protonation occurs below pH 5.5 for the lead complex and occurs predominantly at a terminal nitrogen atom with consequent breaking of the metal–nitrogen bond. In the cadmium complex protonation occurs below pH 5 at the terminal nitrogen, breaking the metal–nitrogen bond, and also to almost the same extent at the central, uncoordinated carboxylate group. These differences in behavior of the lead and cadmium complexes are attributed to differences in ionic size. Possible structures are proposed and allowances are made for the possibility of coordination number greater than six. In the protonated complexes, structures and interconversion of protonated forms are discussed in the light of the observed simplification of the n.m.r. spectra.

Aminopolycarboxylic Acid

Nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectroscopy was used to determine the preferred protonation sites in TTHA. For its 1:1 complex with Pb(II) the following equilibrium constants for protonation were obtained (triethylenetetraaminehexaacetic acid ≡ H6A)[Formula: see text]The non-protonated complex is considered to have four coplanar (or nearly coplanar) metal–nitrogen bonds with the center carboxylate groups coordinated above and below this plane, and with the terminal carboxylate groups playing only a small part in the coordinate bonding. The first and second protonations of the complex occur preferentially at the terminal and center nitrogen atoms, respectively, on the same side of the complex, accompanied by breaking of the respective metal–nitrogen bonds. This causes partial unwrapping of the complex from one side. Rapid interconversion between configurations in which unwrapping and rewrapping occurs first from one side of the molecule and then from the other leads to simplified n.m.r. spectra.

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectroscopy and the pH dependence of the chemical shifts of the nonlabile protons have been used to determine the preferred protonation sites in tetraethylenepentaamineheptaacetic acid (TPHA). The nitrogen atoms are protonated more readily than the carboxylate groups with the sequence of protonation dependent on electrostatic interactions. The 1:1 Pb(II)–TPHA complex which is not protonated for solution conditions from pH 10 to 14, has five metal–nitrogen bonds. The coordinate bonds are labile so that rapid interconversion between nonequivalent configurations produces an average configuration in which the protons of the acetate groups exhibit single n.m.r. peaks. Protonation of the complex probably occurs in three stages. From pH 10 to pH 8 the preferred protonation sites are the terminal nitrogen atoms with the attendant elimination of the metal–nitrogen bonds. Increasing the acidity to pH 4 causes all but the central nitrogen site to be protonated. Below pH 4 the central nitrogen atom becomes protonated and causes further unwrapping of the complex.

Stability Results

The lability of the metal–nitrogen bonds in the Cd(II), Zn(II), and Hg(II) complexes of (HO2CCH2)2N(CH2)nN(CH2CO2H)2 (n = 2, 3, 4) has been investigated by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The acetate methylenic protons of each of the complexes give rise to AB multiplet patterns, indicating the metal–nitrogen bonds to be inert on the n.m.r. time scale. From the temperature dependence of the multiplet patterns, the relative lability of the metal–nitrogen bonds in each series of complexes has been established. In the Cd(II) and Zn(II) complexes, the metal–nitrogen bonds become more labile as the size of the internal chelate ring increases whereas it becomes more inert in the Hg(II) complexes. Also, the mercury–proton coupling constants increase as n is increased from two to four, which is interpreted as evidence that the increased kinetic stability results from structural changes to a more linear N—Hg—N arrangement. The metal–nitrogen bonds in the Cd(II) complexes having n = 3 and 4 is more labile than in the corresponding Zn(II) complexes. The thermodynamic stability patterns of the complexes are discussed in terms of their relative kinetic stabilities.

Tissue Water

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) observes tissue water in the presence of a magnetic field gradient to study morphological changes such as tissue volume loss and signal hyperintensities in human disease. These changes are mostly non-specific and do not appear to be correlated with the range of severity of a certain disease. In contrast, Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS), which measures many different chemicals and tissue metabolites in the millimolar concentration range in the absence of a magnetic field gradient, has been shown to reveal characteristic metabolite patterns which are often correlated with the severity of a disease. In-vivo MRS studies are performed on widely available MRI scanners without any “sample preparation” or invasive procedures and are therefore widely used in clinical research. Hydrogen (H) MRS and MR Spectroscopic Imaging (MRSI, conceptionally a combination of MRI and MRS) measure N-acetylaspartate (a putative marker of neurons), creatine-containing metabolites (involved in energy processes in the cell), choline-containing metabolites (involved in membrane metabolism and, possibly, inflammatory processes),
