Abstract

With the special focus to obtain a new tridentate ligand able to coordinate Fe(III), 3-hydroxy-2-(5'-hydroxypentyl)-4H-pyran-4-one (5-H) has been synthesized. Iron/ligand solution chemistry has been investigated in aqueous solution by ESI-MS and cyclic voltammetric measurements. The physiologic predominant specie is the tris-chelate complex as Job test attested. The electrode potential of the [FeIII(5)3]/[FeII(5)3] couple was evaluated to be –0.54 V vs. SCE, pH 7.4.
