Description
Summary:The aim of this research was to synthesize some new silver-cysteamine complexes of potential biological interest. Reactions were carried out between silver nitrate and cysteamine (2-aminoethanethiol hydrochloride) under different conditions of pH and mole ratios of the metal (silver) to the ligand (cysteamine). Some novel silver-cysteamine complexes were made, and after characterization of the complexes by cyclic voltammetry, pH measurements, and microanalysis, it is now obvious that the mole ratio of the metal to the ligand in complexes is about four to three.
