Sažetak
Voltammetric investigations of iron(III)-chrysobactin complexes in aqueous solution at static mercury electrode, were performed. With cFe = (0.5 - 30)x10-7 mol dm-3 and cCb = (0.5 - 100)x10-7 mol dm-3 in pH range 7.0 – 10.0, reduction peaks with Ep -0.64 to - 0.74 V (1) and Ep -0.50 to - 0.62 V (2) vs. Ag/AgCl, were registered. These reduction processes were time dependent as well as solution composition (cFe, cCb and pH). Complexes are adsorbed at the mercury drop surface. Presumed stoichiometry of the detected complexes was FeIIICb3 (1) and FeIIICb2(OH)x. (2). Their formation/dissociation processes were described. These investigations are of biological importance as well, since provide an insight into possible reduction mechanism in the bacterial cells that use chrysobactin to acquire the iron.
