Zusammenfassung: | The pH dependence of Fe(III)-amino acid complexes has been studied polarographically and by means of ESR spectroscopy.
It could be shown that, at least, two complexes exist: one with a low molecular weight, ESR detectable at acid pH. and one with a high molecular w eight at alkaline pH, ESR non detectable. The half wave potential of Fe (III) is lowered by amino acid ligands.
The redox interaction of the Fe(III)-amino acid complexes with vitamin C results in a decrease of the ascorbyl radical concentration. Ascorbic acid also forms a complex with Fe(III) as indicated by a polarographic half wave potential near -0.55 V vs. S.C.E. at pH 7. |
