Abstract

A metal chelating composition having the formula: wherein Q is a carrier; S 1 is a spacer; L is -A-T-CH(X)— or —C(═O)—; A is an ether, thioether, selenoether, or amide linkage; T is a bond or substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or alkenyl; X is —(CH 2 ) k CH 3 , —(CH 2 ) k COOH, —(CH 2 ) k SO 3 H, —(CH 2 ) k PO 3 H 2 , —(CH 2 ) k N(J) 2 , or —(CH 2 ) k P(J) 2 , preferably —(CH 2 ) k COOH or —(CH 2 ) k SO 3 H; k is an integer from 0 to 2; J is hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl; Y is —COOH, —H, —SO 3 H, —PO 3 H 2 , —N(J) 2 , or —P(J) 2 , preferably, —COOH; Z is —COOH, —H, —SO 3 H, —PO 3 H 2 , —N(J) 2 , or —P(J) 2 , preferably, —COOH; and i is an integer from 0 to 4, preferably 1 or 2.

Claims (34)

k is an integer from 0 to 2;

Y is —COOH;

Z is —COOH; and

i is an integer from 0 to 4.

2. The metal chelating composition of claim 1 wherein Q is agarose.

3. The metal chelating composition of claim 2 wherein S 1 consists of a chain of no more than about 25 atoms selected from the group consisting of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur.

4. The metal chelating composition of claim 2 wherein S 1 consists of a chain of no more than about 25 atoms selected from the group consisting of carbon, oxygen and sulfur.

6. The metal chelating composition of claim 1 wherein the carrier is selected from the group consisting of agarose, cellulose, methacrylate copolymers, polystyrene, polypropylene, paper, polyamide, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinylidene, polysulfone, nitrocellulose, polyester, polyethylene, silica, glass, latex, plastic, gold, iron oxide, polyacrylamide, nucleic acid, lipids, liposomes, synthetic soluble polymers, proteins, polyamino acids, albumin, antibodies, enzymes, streptavidin, peptides, hormones, chromogenic dyes, fluorescent dyes, flurochromes, and polysaccharides.

7. The metal chelating composition of claim 1 wherein S 1 consists of a chain of no more than about 25 atoms selected from the group consisting of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur.

8. The metal chelating composition of claim 1 wherein S 1 consists of a chain of no more than about 25 atoms selected from the group consisting of carbon, oxygen and sulfur.

9. The metal chelating composition of claim 1 wherein S 1 consists of a chain of no more than about 15 atoms selected from the group consisting of carbon, oxygen and sulfur and T is —(CH 2 ) n — wherein n is 0 to 6.

10. A metal chelate comprising a chelate of a metal and the metal chelating composition of claim 1 .

11. The metal chelate of claim 10 wherein the metal is selected from the group consisting of Ni, Hg, Ga, Cu, Ru, Co, Cd, Mg, Mn, Ti, In, Zn, Tc, Rh, Pd, Re, Fe, Au, Pb, and Bi.

12. The metal chelate of claim 10 wherein the metal is selected from the group consisting of Fe, Cu, Co, Au, and Ni.
