ABSTRACT


Interactions of selected paramagnetic transition metal salts [Ni(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Fe(III), Mn(II)] with xanthan gum are described. The conductivity, DSC/TG/DTG measurements, and EPR measurements produced evidence for the formation of Werner-type complexes of metal central atoms with the polysaccharide ligand. The carboxylic groups of xanthan gum were preferably involved in the ligation of the central atoms. Cu(II), Co(II) and Fe(III) ions were most readily coordinated by xanthan gum whereas Mn(II) cations were coordinated most randomly. Sometimes, the copper central atom resided in dimeric form.

Key words: clathrates, hydrocolloids, macro ligands, polysaccharides, thermal analysis, Werner complexes.
