| Abstract | The structure and speciation of the complexes formed between mercury(II) ions and glutathione (GSH = L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) have been studied for a series of alkaline aqueous solutions ( $$ C_{{{\text{Hg}}^{{2 + }}}}\,{\sim18\,{\rm{mmol}}\,{\rm{{dm^{-3}}}}}$$ and C GSH = 40–200 mmol dm−3 at pH ∼10.5) by means of extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and 199Hg NMR spectroscopy at ambient temperature. The dominant complexes are [Hg(GS)2]4− and [Hg(GS)3]7−, with mean Hg–S bond distances of 2.32(1) and 2.42(2) Å observed in digonal and trigonal Hg–S coordination, respectively. The proportions of the Hg2+–glutathione complexes were evaluated by fitting linear combinations of model EXAFS oscillations representing each species to the experimental EXAFS spectra. The [Hg(GS)4]10− complex, with four sulfur atoms coordinated at a mean Hg–S bond distance of 2.52(2) Å, is present in minor amounts (<30%) in solutions containing a large excess of glutathione (C GSH ≥ 160 mmol dm−3). Comparable alkaline mercury(II) cysteine (H2Cys) solutions were also investigated and a reduced tendency to form higher complexes was observed, because the deprotonated amino group of Cys2− allows the stable [Hg(S,N-Cys)2]2− chelate to form. The effect of temperature on the distribution of the Hg2+–glutathione complexes was studied by comparing the EXAFS spectra at ambient temperature and at 25 K of a series of glycerol/water (33/67, v/v) frozen glasses with $$ C_{{{\text{Hg}}^{{2 + }} }} \,{\sim7\,{\rm{mmol}}\,{\rm{{dm^{-3}}}}} $$ and C GSH = 16–81 mmol dm−3. Complexes with high Hg–S coordination numbers, [Hg(GS)3]7− and [Hg(GS)4]10−, became strongly favored when just a moderate excess of glutathione (C GSH ≥28 mmol dm−3) was used in the glassy samples, as expected for a stepwise exothermic bond formation. Addition of glycerol had no effect on the Hg(II)–glutathione speciation, as shown by the similarity of the EXAFS spectra obtained at room temperature for two parallel series of Hg(II)-glutathione solutions with $$ C_{{{\text{Hg}}^{{2 + }} }} \,{\sim7\,{\rm{mmol}}\,{\rm{{dm^{-3}}}}},$$ with and without 33% glycerol. Also, the 199Hg NMR chemical shifts of a series of ∼18 mmol dm−3 mercury(II) glutathione solutions with 33% glycerol were not significantly different from those of the corresponding series in aqueous solution. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
