Abstract

The tetra-acid 2-hydroxyethylimino-bis(methylenephosphonic acid) (HEIBPH, 1) and its ring condensation product, the triacid 2-hydroxy-2-oxo-4-phosphonemethyl-1,4,2-oxazaphosphorinane (2), were investigated for determination of protonation constants using (31)P, (1)H, and (13)C NMR spectroscopy in a wide pH range. As for other alpha-amino-phosphonic acids, the first protonation of 1 is straightforward and occurs at the nitrogen, while for 2 the first protonation occurs simultaneously at the exo phosphonate group, allowing estimation of the microscopic protonation constants. The complexation of Ca(2+) with 1 in a 1:1 molar ratio in aqueous solutions and in the presence of a 5-fold excess Na(+) is rationalized by the products LCaH(2), LCaH, LCaNaH, LCa, and LCa(2) (L = 1). Only the phosphonate groups are involved in Ca(2+) binding at pH > 3, while the phosphonate, hydroxyl, and amine functionalities coordinate to Ca(2+) at pH > 6-7, as soon as the proton at N is lost. Probable conformation states of ions of 1 and 2 are estimated by means of the dependence of vicinal coupling constants (3)J(HH) and (3)J(PC) from dihedral angles.
