Ristić3 1 Faculty of Sciences, Department of Physics, University of Novi Sad, Novi Sad, Serbia 2 Faculty of Technology, University of Niš, Leskovac, Serbia 3 Faculty of Technology, University of Novi Sad, Serbia This paper presents a synthesis of iron(II) fumarate based on the conversion of fumaric acid into disodium fumarate in molar ratio of 1:2 by the neutralization process. Disodium fumarate, as intermediate, in a nitrogen atmosphere it reacts with iron(II)-sulfate in molar ratio of 1:1. The obtained iron(II) fumarate is a reddish precipitate with the purity of 98 %. In order to improve the poor solubility of the synthesized iron(II) fumarate, inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) were prepared by using a co-precipitation method in molar ratio of 1:1. The characterization of inclusion complexes, iron(II) fumarate and cyclodextrin was done out by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) methods. The solubility of iron(II) fumarate in the pure state and in the complexes was determined by UV/VIS method. The best solubility was obtained for the 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin: iron(II) fumarate complex.

In the compound crystal structure the copper centers are interlocked by fumarate ligands, giving a) a novel [Cu(í-C4H2O4)(NH3)2]n(H2O)n infinite chain as shown in Figure 2. b) Figure 1.

ORTEP diagram of [Cu(í-C4H2O4)(NH3)2]n(H2O)n with labeling scheme showing 50 % probability thermal ellipsoids for all nonhydrogen atoms Each copper ion is placed in a distorted square pyramidal environment. Two nitrogen atoms of the coordinated ammonia and two oxygen atoms of two different fumarate units define the equatorial plane of the pyramid. The axial position is occupied by an oxygen atom of the third fumarate anion. Thus, each Cu(II) center is linked to three different fumarate anions. The bond lengths in the equatorial plane are: Cu-N, 1.975(5) Å; Cu-O(1), 1.973(5) Å; Cu-O3, 1.994(5) Å. The axial bond length is 2.458(6) Å [8]. Two carboxylic groups of the fumarate ligand have two different coordination modes. In the first mode, the carboxylic group acts as a bridge linked to two Cu(II) ions [8]. For iron(II) fumarate, the results of magnetic measurements (magnetic susceptibility) indicate that iron(II) ion within the studied complex appears in the low spin state with the two unpaired electrons, pointing towards the coordination polyhedron in the shape of elongated octahedron [9]. Iron(II) fumarate in the crystalline state mostly builds a macromolecular chain [9]. The results are suggesting that these structures are different and that the structure of iron(II) fumarate is more suitable for the presented tests [8] related to the complex of copper(II) fumarate. Complexes of 08 iron(II) ions with other compounds have also been studied. Thus, complexes of iron (II) with antipyrine and pyridine Noxide were investigated [10]. Preparations based on iron(II) fumarate are now widely used because of its good properties such as good adsorption affinity in the body and low toxicity. Good adsorption in the body and minimal side effects are considered to originate from the ligand, fumarate ion, which is an intermediate in the Krebs cycle and is present in living organisms [11]. In most research papers the content of iron in iron(II) fumarate was examined by Mössbauer spectroscopy [12, 13]. The iron content in dietary supplements was also examined by the same method [14-16]. Cyclodextrins are non-reducing oligosaccharides, cylindrical in shape, resembling a truncated cup. Depending on the number of glucopyranose units linked with α-(1 → 4) bond they can be classified as cyclomaltohexose (six glucopyranose units, α-cyclodextrin), cyclomaltoheptose (seven glucopyranose units, β-cyclodextrin) and cyclomaltooctose (eight glucopyranose units, γ-cyclodextrin) [17].

FTIR spectra of A) iron(II) fumarate, B) β-cyclodextrin, C) β-cyclodextrin: iron(II) fumarate complex, D) physical mixture of β-cyclodextrin with iron(II) fumarate The analysis of FTIR spectra of complexes shows that the spectra are basically similar but there are differences in some of the band positions for complexes as compared to the pure iron(II) fumarate. Centroid band in the spectra of complexes is more intense in the area of stretching (OH) vibrations and shifted a few units towards lower or higher frequencies compared to the position of a similar band in the cyclodextrin spectra.This indicates that an interaction between iron(II) fumarate and cyclodextrin occurred in a 10 complex. Also, there is a shift in spectra of both complexes for the band occurring in cyclodextrin at about 1370 cm-1 towards a higher frequency registered at 1395 cm-1. In 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin complex the band that appeared at 757 cm-1 shifted to 792 cm-1. For the complexes in the range of 600-700 cm-1 new bands (at 675 and 643 cm-1) appeared. Some bands which are present in the iron(II) fumarate spectrum are absent from the spectra of the complexes. It was noticed that the stretching vi- 1(1) (2012), 07-15 Advanced technologies bration (COOˉ) band at 1385 cm-1 is shifted to the higher frequency side in the spectrum of iron(II) fumarate, while in the complexes it occurs at 1395 cm-1. Based on the changes observed in FTIR spectra, it can be concluded that complexes do not represent a simple physical mixture. On the contrary, iron(II) fumarate was included into cyclo- dextrin cavities and supra molecular structures - inclusion complexes were built. Bands typical for C1 conformation of glucopyranose units at 950, 860 and 756 cm-1 have almost the same intensity, shape and position as with cyclodextrin, suggesting that C1 conformation of glucopyranose units did not change during the synthesis of the complex.

Schmitz, Vergleichende Untersuchung über die Figure 8. Solubility profiles of iron(II) fumarate in pure and complex form The best solubility of iron(II) fumarate is achieved within 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin: iron(II) fumarate complex (2.71 mg/cm3). Lower solubility of 2.05 mg/cm3 is achieved within β-cyclodextrin: iron(II) fumarate complex, while the lowest solubility of 1.37 mg/cm3 was obtained for the pure iron(II) fumarate. These results are consistent with the research studies on solubility of different drugs with inclusion complexes found in literature [19-21, 24, 28]. For instance, in inclusion complexes with usnic acid there was a 70-fold solubility increase in usnic acid in hydroxypropylβ-cyclodextrin while in the presence of β-cyclodextrin the solubility increased more than 5-fold [28]. 14 therapeutische Wirkung oral applizierter Eisen (II)- bzw.
