Speciation studies on the complex formation reactions of [Pd(N,N-diethyl-ethylendiamine)(H2O)2]2+ with some bio-relevant ligands and displacement reaction by mercaptoethylamine

► The present manuscript reports the results of the study of the interaction [Pd(N,N-diethylethylenediamine)(H2O)2]2+ with biorelevant ligands. ► The Pd(II) complex used in this study is a model of antitumour agent and it is of interest to study the behavior and its reactions in biological fluids. ► The manuscript is in the domain of SAA as it deals with spectrophotometric and potentiometric investigation of biologically relevant system. ► The results is expected to contribute to the chemistry of antitumour agents.
