Abstract

Equilibria between gold(I) cysteinate complexes in aqueous solutions are studied by pH-metry, solubility measurements, and potentiometric measurements using a gold electrode at 25°C and I = 0.2 M (NaCl). The stepwise protonation constants logK iH of cysteinate H i – 1Cysi – 3 + H+ = H i Cysi – 2 are as follows: 10.10 (i = 1), 8.12 (i = 2), and 1.90 (i = 3). Protonation of cysteinate complexes is studied: Au(Cys) 3−2 + H+ = Au(HCys)(Cys)2–, logK 1H Au = 9.62 and Au(HCys)(Cys)2– + H+ = Au(HCys)2 , logK 2HAu = 9.01. The constant K S of the heterogeneous equilibrium Au(HCys)s + HCys = Au(HCys) 2 is 3.3. The standard potential of the Au(Cys) 3−2 complex is E 01/0 = –0.172 ± 0.011 V. The stability of the Au(HCys) 2 complex is close to that of Au(HS) 2 . The constant of substitution Au(HCys) 2 + SO 2−3 = Au(HCys)SO 2−3 + HCys is determined to be logK 11H = –1.3.
