Animal and plants contain carboxylic acids, which are involved in their metabolic reactions. It is also well known that metal ions are involved in their metabolic reactions. So far the complexation of carboxylate ions with metal ions has been extensively studied. Since neutral or acidic medium is existing in most of the biological reactions in animals and plants it is interesting to study the complexation of organic carboxylic acids in neutral medium with biologically active metal ions such as manganese, cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc. Complexes of phthalic acid were prepared in neutral medium and were characterized. In such complexes the carboxylic acid group is not ionised and carbonyloxygen of the carboxylic acids are coordinated to the metal ions. However the microbial study is not the scope of this work.

Since neutral or acidic medium is existing in most of the biological reactions in animals and plants it is interested to study the complexation of organic carboxylic acids in neutral medium with biologically active metal ions such as manganese, cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc. Complexes of benzoic acid were prepared in neutral medium and were characterised. In such complexes the carboxylic acid group is not ionised and carbonyl oxygen of the carboxylic acids are coordinated to the metal ions. However the microbial study is not the scope of this work.

Homobinuclear metal chelate complexes having 1,4-dihydroxy-9,10-anthracenedione (quinizarin) as a bridging unit have been prepared with four bivalent first row transition elements, namely cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc. The coordination spheres of the metal ions consist of two nearly equivalent six-membered rings with oxygen donor atoms derived from the quinizarin and the terminal ligands which are either β-diketones or salicylic aldehyde. TG, spectroscopic (ir, uv–vis, epr), and magnetic measurements have been applied to an investigation of the geometry adopted by the MO4 chromophores. The results are consistent with varying degrees of distortion from the ideal square planar toward a tetrahedral arrangement around the metal ions, closely related to the specific metal center involved.

A series of cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc complexes of bidentate Schiff bases derived from the condensation reaction of 4-amino-5-mercapto-3-methyl/ethyl-1,2,4-triazole with 2,4-dichlorobenzaldehyde were synthesized and tested as antimicrobial agents. The synthesized Schiff bases and their metal complexes were characterized with the aid of elemental analyses, magnetic moment measurements, spectroscopic and thermogravimetric techniques. The presence of coordinated water in metal complexes was supported by infrared and thermal gravimetric studies. A square planar geometry was suggested for Cu(II) and octahedral geometry proposed for Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) complexes. The Schiff bases and their metal complexes have been screened for antibacterial (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis) and antifungal activities (Aspergillus niger, A. flavus). The metal complexes exhibited significantly enhanced antibacterial and antifungal activity as compared to their simple Schiff bases.

The biopolymer chitosan is a very efficient adsorber material for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Due to the solubility properties of chitosan it can be used as both a liquid adsorber and a solid flocculant for water treatment reaching outstanding adsorption capacities for a number of heavy metal ions. However, the type of anion corresponding to the investigated heavy metal ions has a strong influence on the adsorption capacity and sorption mechanism on chitosan. In this work, the adsorption capacity of the heavy metal ions manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc were investigated in dependence on their corresponding anions sulfate, chloride, and nitrate by batch experiments. The selectivity of the different heavy metal ions was analyzed by column experiments.

The interaction of Cu2+, Mn2+ and Ca2+ ions with DNA in aqueous and water-ethanol solutions at different metal ion concentrations was studied by IR-spectroscopy. At sufficiently high DNA concentrations, DNA interaction with Cu2+, Ca2+ and Mn2+ ions results in compacting of DNA in the aqueous solutions. This process shows a very high cooperativity. In the presence of alcohol, DNA condensation takes place at much lower concentrations of metal ions used than in pure aqueous solution. Binding constants and cooperativity of the metal ion binding rise, and the non-monotonous dependencies of the binding degree, r, on the concentration of free metal ions, Cf, become pronounced. Binding isotherms take the S-like form similar to van der Waals isotherms for phase transitions of the liquid-vapour type. Cu2+ and Ca2+ ion binding to DNA in water-ethanol solutions also results in compacting of DNA macromolecule. The process is characterised by a high positive cooperativity and has a phase transition character.

The widely spread use of the hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) for multi-ion analysis is primarily ascribed to the following reasons: (i) excellent reproducibility owing to the easy renewal of the electrode surface avoiding any hysteresis effect (i.e., a new identical drop is generated for each measurement to be accomplished); (ii) a wide cathodic potential window originating from the passive hydrogen evolution and solvent electrolysis; (iii) the ability to form amalgams with many redox-active metal ions; and (iv) the achievement of (sub)nanomolar limits of detection. On the other hand, the main controversy of the HMDE usage is the high toxicity level of mercury, which has motivated the scientific community to question whether the HMDE deserves to continue being used despite its unique capability for multi-metal detection. In this work, the simultaneous determination of Zn2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, and Cu2+ using the HMDE is investigated as a model system to evaluate the main features of the technique. The analytical benefits of the HMDE in terms of linear range of response, reproducibility, limit of detection, proximity to ideal redox behavior of metal ions and analysis time are herein demonstrated and compared to other electrodes proposed in the literature as less-toxic alternatives to the HMDE. The results have revealed that the HMDE is largely superior to other reported methods in several aspects and, moreover, it displays excellent accuracy when simultaneously analyzing Zn2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, and Cu2+ in such a complex matrix as digested soils. Yet, more efforts are required towards the definitive replacement of the HMDE in the electroanalysis field, despite the elegant approaches already reported in the literature.

Ionic liquids are critical reagents for science and technical processes nowadays. Metals are the most used reagents in the industry. It is crucial to have a deeper understanding of how ionic liquids and metals could interact. In this article the interaction of those two families of compounds is accessed. The dissolution (reaction) of metals with ionic liquids is studied, namely the influence of temperature, redox potential, and availability of an oxidant in the process. The final state achieved by the iron metal samples was also addressed by Mössbauer spectroscopy.
