Stoichiometry of Zn(II)–heparin–glycine complex, determined using data from elemental and thermal analysis

Abstract

Ternary polymer Zn(II)–heparin–glycine complex with the composition {Na₃[ZnHepGly]·H₂O}_n, where Hep⁴⁻ is the monomer chain of a heparin polyanion and Gly^– is the chain of a glycine anion, is isolated in a solid state from a water solution, and is characterized via elemental and thermal analysis.
