ABSTRACT
The complexation properties of the D-myo-inositol 1,2,6 trisphosphate (Ins(1,2,6)P3) towards Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+ cations were studied at 25 degrees C in a 0.1 M tetra-n-butylammonium bromide medium. For all cations, mononuclear and protonated species were found. For smaller cations (Li+, Na+, and K+) a dinuclear complex was also put into evidence. The main characteristic of the complexes is its high stability; and of the ligand, its nonselectivity. The Ins(1,2,6)P3-K system was ascertained using Sammartano's method which additionally enabled the influence of various K+ concentrations on the protonations constants to be considered.
