Abstract
Many complexes of 1-aminoakylphosphonic acids have been obtained and their structures have been studied [1–3]. On the other hand, 2-aminoindan-2-phosphonic acid (2-AIP), the phosphonic conformationally restricted cyclic analogue of phenylalanine, has been recently obtained [4]. We undertook a study of interaction of cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(II) with 2-AIP, to learn how the rigid Iigand structure influences the complexes structure.
