The wide use of titanium in applied materials has prompted pertinent studies targeting the requisite chemistry of that metal's biological interactions. In order to understand such interactions as well as the requisite titanium aqueous speciation, we launched investigations on the synthesis and spectroscopic and structural characterization of Ti(IV) species with the physiological citric acid. Aqueous reactions of TiCl(4) with citric acid in the presence of H(2)O(2) and neutralizing ammonia afforded expediently the red crystalline material (NH(4))(4)[Ti(2)(O(2))(2)(C(6)H(4)O(7))(2)].2H(2)O (1). Complex 1 was further characterized by UV-vis, FT-IR, FT- and laser-Raman, NMR, and finally by X-ray crystallography. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n, with a = 10.360(4) A, b = 10.226(4) A, c = 11.478(6) A, beta = 107.99(2) degrees, V = 1156.6(9) A(3), and Z = 2. The X-ray structure of 1 reveals a dinuclear anionic complex containing a Ti(IV)(2)O(2) core. In that central unit, two fully deprotonated citrate ligands are coordinated to the metal ions through their carboxylate moieties in a monodentate fashion. The central alkoxides serve as bridges to the two titanium ions. Also attached to the Ti(IV)(2)O(2) core are two peroxo ligands each bound in a side-on fashion to the respective metal ions. NH(4)(+) ions neutralize the 4- charge of the anion in 1, further contributing to the stability of the derived lattice through H-bond formation. The structural similarities and differences with congener vanadium(V)-peroxo-citrate complexes may point out potential implications in the chemistry of titanium with physiological ligands, when the former is present in a biologically relevant medium.
Vanadium(V) involvement in interactions with physiological ligands in biological media prompted us to delve into the systematic pH-dependent synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, and perusal of chemical properties of arising aqueous vanadium(V)-citrate species in the requisite system. To this end, facile reactions led to dinuclear complexes (NH(4))(4)[V(2)O(4)(C(6)H(5)O(7))(2)].4H(2)O (1) and (NH(4))(6)[V(2)O(4)(C(6)H(4)O(7))(2)].6H(2)O (2). Complex 1 and 2 were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a=16.998(5) A, b=16.768(5) A, c=9.546(3) A, beta=105.22(1) degrees, V=2625(1) A(3), and Z=4. Complex 2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1;, with a=9.795(4) A, b=9.942(4) A, c=9.126(3) A, alpha=90.32(1) degrees, beta=111.69(1) degrees, gamma=108.67(1) degrees, V=774.5(5) A(3), and Z=1. The structures of 1 and 2 were consistent with the presence of a V(V)(2)O(2) core, to which citrate ligands of differing protonation state were bound in a coordination mode consistent with past observations. Ultimately, the aqueous pH dependent transformations of a series of three dinuclear complexes, 1, 2 and (NH(4))(2)[V(2)O(4)(C(6)H(6)O(7))(2)].2H(2)O (3), all isolated at pH values from 3 to 7.5, were explored and revealed an important interconnection among all species. Collectively, pH emerged as a determining factor of structural attributes in all three complexes, with the adjoining acid-base chemistry unfolding around the stable V(V)(2)O(2) core. The results point to the participation of all three species in aqueous vanadium(V)-citrate speciation, and may relate the site-specific protonations-deprotonations on the dinuclear complexes to potential biological processes involving vanadium(V) and physiological ligand targets.
A 46-year-old woman with multiple myeloma presented with neurological symptoms in the right upper extremity. After MR imaging of the cervical spine failed to show the cause of her symptoms, Ga-67 scintigraphy demonstrated increased uptake in multiple areas including the right supraclavicular region and bilateral lower extremities. Histology of the specimen obtained from the left thigh proved soft-tissue involvement of myeloma, and extensive extramedullary involvement was diagnosed. Radiotherapy to the right supraclavicular mass relieved her symptoms. Although Ga-67 scintigraphy is generally considered of limited value in multiple myeloma, this modality contributed to the development of an appropriate strategy in this patient with extensive extramedullary involvement.
