Abstract: The formation constant of α-aminoacids(5 substituted phenanthrolines)-L-threonic-acid-copper(Ⅱ) ternary complexes were determined at 298 K, I =0.1 mol/L KNO3. The two biologically active ligand, α-aminoacid and L-threonic acid accommodate each other when coordinated to copper(Ⅱ) ion. The stability of ternary complex is larger than that of the corresponding binary complex. This result indicates that, as a ligand, L-threonic acid can serve as a carrier transport metal ions effectively in vivo. The percentage of ternary complex is obviously larger than that of binary complex in a wide pHrange. The formation constant of the ternary complexes linearly increase with the increase of protonation constant of α-aminoacid and the stability of its binary complexes. Linear free energy relationship(LFER) does exist in the presence of ternary system. Alcoholic proton in L-threonic acid was dissociated with a pKa larger than that in binary complex. In 5-substituted phenanthroline L-threonic acid-copper(Ⅱ) ternary system, the stability of the ternary complex decreases with the increase of protonation constant of 5-substituted phenanthroline due to d-p π back-bonding.

Key words: L-Threonic acid, α-Aminoacid, 5-Substituted phenanthroline, Copper(Ⅱ) ternary complex, Stability
