Organic acid solutions in the chromatography of inorganic ions. VII. Cation exchange of Mg(II), Ca(II), Sr(II), Ba(II), Mn(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cu(II) and Fe(III) in succinate media

Summary The cation-exchange behaviour of Mg(II), Ca(II), Sr(II), Ba(II), Mn(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cu(II) and Fe(III) in succinate media at various concentrations and pH, was studied with Dowex 50 WX8 resin (200–400 mesh) in the NH ₄ ⁺ form. As examples separations of Cd(II)/Co(II), Cd (II)/Ni(II), Fe(III)/Cu(II)/Ni(II) and Mg(II)/Ca(II)/Sr(II)/Ba(II) have been achieved.This work was supported by C.N.R. of Italy.     

CO Oxidation by Group 3 Metal Monoxide Cations Supported on [Fe(CO)4]2−

Infrared photodissociation spectroscopy of mass‐selected heteronuclear cluster anions in the form of OMFe(CO)₅⁻ (M=Sc, Y, La) indicates that all these anions involve an 18‐electron [Fe(CO)₄]²⁻ building block that is bonded with the M center through two bridged carbonyl ligands. The OLaFe(CO)₅⁻ anion is determined to be a CO‐tagged complex involving a [Fe(CO)₄]²⁻[LaO]⁺ anion core. In contrast, the OYFe(CO)₅⁻ anion is characterized to have a [Fe(CO)₄]²⁻[Y(η²‐CO₂)]⁺ structure involving a side‐on bonded CO₂ ligand. The CO‐tagged complex and the [Fe(CO)₄]²⁻[Sc(η²‐CO₂)]⁺ isomer co‐exist for the OScFe(CO)₅⁻ anion. These observations indicate that both the ScO⁺ and YO⁺ cations supported on [Fe(CO)₄]²⁻ are able to oxidize CO to CO₂. Theoretical analyses show that [Fe(CO)₄]²⁻ coordination significantly weakens the MO⁺ bond and decreases the energy gap of the interacting valence orbitals between MO⁺ and CO, leading to the CO oxidation reactions being both thermodynamically exothermic and kinetically facile.     

Microwave Activation of Electrochemical Processes in Ionic Liquid Impregnated Ionomer Spheres

The redox system K₄Fe(CN)₆ adsorbed into anion exchanger particles (Dowex 1×2 of typically 200 µm diameter) and impregnated with 1‐butyl‐3‐methyl‐imidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid (BMIM⁺BF₄^?) in contact to a 50 µm diameter platinum microelectrode show well‐defined Fe(III/II) voltammetric responses. Processes are studied at the ionic liquid sphere | electrode | gas interface in the presence of dry or 80 % relative humidity argon gas flow. Due to the hygroscopic nature of BMIN⁺BF₄^? currents are sensitive to humidity levels. Pulsed and continuous microwave activation (2.45 GHz) is shown to occur locally at the tip of the platinum microelectrode due to focusing of microwave energy. Impedance experiments reveal the presence of a thin active film of ionic liquid.

Organic Ion Exchangers. Synthesis and Their Behaviour in the Retention of Some Metal Ions

Summary: Three pyridine strong base anion exchangers as beads were obtained by quaternization reactions of a 4-vinylpyridine : 8% divinylbenzene copolymer of gel type. These resins possess methyl / ethyl / butyl radicals as substituents on N⁺ atoms and have exchange capacities of 4.80 mEq/g and 2.10 mEq/mL. For pyridine strong base anion exchangers, the behaviours in the retention processes of Cr(VI) as oxyanions and Ga(III) as [GaCl₄]⁻ complex anion were evaluated with the bath method. All the resins exhibited retention properties, but the retained amounts of the metal cations are different as a function of the alkyl length as substituent on N⁺ atoms and the complex anion nature. Thus, Cr(VI) oxyanions are best retained by the resin with  CH₃ as substituent on N⁺ atoms while [GaCl₄]⁻ complex anion by the resin with  C₄H₉ as substituent on N⁺ atoms. By aminolysis reaction of an ethylacrylate : acrylonitrile : divinylbenzene copolymer as beads of macroporous type with NH₂OH · HCl in the presence of C₂H₅OH a new chelating ion exchanger was performed which contains both amidoxime and hydroxamic acid functional groups. This ion exchanger has the retention property for different metal cations but its retention capacities values are strongly dependent of the nature of metal cation and the counterion as well as pH of the solution. Thus, in the static conditions Zn(II) cation with NOequation/tex2gif-stack-1.gif anion as counterion is retained with the best result at pH = 5. As an example, for the aqueous metal cation solution of 10⁻² M concentration for Zn(NO₃)₂ the resin possess at equilibrium a retention capacity of 6.70 mmol Zn/g dry resin and for Cu(II) from Cu(NO₃)₂ solution of same concentration, the retention capacity is 0.22 mmol Cu/g dry resin and Fe(III) from Fe(NO₃)₃ solution is not retained.     

Supramolecular association in proton‐transfer adducts containing benzamidinium cations. I. Four molecular salts with uracil derivatives

Four organic salts, namely benzamidinidium orotate (2,6‐dioxo‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydropyrimidine‐4‐carboxylate) hemihydrate, C₇H₉N₂⁺·C₅H₃N₂O₄⁻·0.5H₂O (BenzamH⁺·Or⁻), (I), benzamidinium isoorotate (2,4‐dioxo‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydropyrimidine‐5‐carboxylate) trihydrate, C₇H₉N₂⁺·C₅H₃N₂O₄⁻·3H₂O (BenzamH⁺·Isor⁻), (II), benzamidinium diliturate (5‐nitro‐2,6‐dioxo‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydropyrimidin‐4‐olate) dihydrate, C₇H₉N₂⁺·C₄H₂N₃O₅⁻·2H₂O (BenzamH⁺·Dil⁻), (III), and benzamidinium 5‐nitrouracilate (5‐nitro‐2,4‐dioxo‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydropyrimidin‐1‐ide), C₇H₉N₂⁺·C₄H₂N₃O₄⁻ (BenzamH⁺·Nit⁻), (IV), have been synthesized by a reaction between benzamidine (benzenecarboximidamide or Benzam) and the appropriate carboxylic acid. Proton transfer occurs to the benzamidine imino N atom. In all four acid–base adducts, the asymmetric unit consists of one tautomeric aminooxo anion (Or⁻, Isor⁻, Dil⁻ and Nit⁻) and one monoprotonated benzamidinium cation (BenzamH⁺), plus one‐half (which lies across a twofold axis), three and two solvent water molecules in (I), (II) and (III), respectively. Due to the presence of protonated benzamidine, these acid–base complexes form supramolecular synthons characterized by N⁺—H...O⁻ and N⁺—H...N⁻ (±)‐charge‐assisted hydrogen bonds (CAHB).     

Étude des facteurs influençant la fixation de gallium(III) sûr résine dowex 50-x8 en milieu hc1-eau-dioxanne

The retention of gallium(III) on Dowex 50-X8 resin in 0.6 M HCl-dioxan media was studied as a function of the dioxan content. The ion-exchange in complexing medium (HC1) and in non-complexing medium (H₂SO₄) was studied; the determination of the distribution coefficients indicated the reactions occurring in the different media. Solvent uptake by Dowex 50-X8 (H⁺ and Ga(III) forms) from 0.6 M HCl-dioxan mixtures and the solvent composition in the resin were determined. The influence of the weak dielectric constant of dioxan proved to be most important; however, specific solvation phenomena were evident.     

The MOF+ Technique: A Significant Synergic Effect Enables High Performance Chromate Removal

A significant synergic effect between a metal–organic framework (MOF) and Fe₂SO₄, the so‐called MOF⁺ technique, is exploited for the first time to remove toxic chromate from aqueous solutions. The results show that relative to the pristine MOF samples (no detectable chromate removal), the MOF⁺ method enables super performance, giving a 796 Cr mg g⁻¹ adsorption capacity. The value is almost eight‐fold higher than the best value of established MOF adsorbents, and the highest value of all reported porous adsorbents for such use. The adsorption mechanism, unlike the anion‐exchange process that dominates chromate removal in all other MOF adsorbents, as unveiled by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), is due to the surface formation of Fe_0.75Cr_0.25(OH)₃ nanospheres on the MOF samples.     

syn and anti conformations in 2‐hydroxy‐5‐[(E)‐(4‐nitrophenyl)diazenyl]benzoic acid and two related salts

The crystal structures of 2‐hydroxy‐5‐[(E)‐(4‐nitrophenyl)diazenyl]benzoic acid, C₁₃H₉N₃O₅, (I), ammonium 2‐hydroxy‐5‐[(E)‐phenyldiazenyl]benzoate, NH₄⁺·C₁₃H₉N₂O₃⁻, (II), and sodium 2‐hydroxy‐5‐[(E)‐(4‐nitrophenyl)diazenyl]benzoate trihydrate, Na⁺·C₁₃H₈N₃O₅⁻·3H₂O, (III), have been determined using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. In (I) and (III), the phenyldiazenyl and carboxylic acid/carboxylate groups are in an anti orientation with respect to each other, which is in accord with the results of density functional theory (DFT) calculations, whereas in (II), the anion adopts a syn conformation. In (I), molecules form slanted stacks along the [100] direction. In (II), anions form bilayers parallel to (010), the inner part of the bilayers being formed by the benzene rings, with the –OH and –COO⁻ substituents on the bilayer surface. The NH₄⁺ cations in (II) are located between the bilayers and are engaged in numerous N—H...O hydrogen bonds. In (III), anions form layers parallel to (001). Both Na⁺ cations have a distorted octahedral environment, with four octahedra edge‐shared by bridging water O atoms, forming [Na₄(H₂O)₁₂]⁴⁺ units.     

Separation of Iron(III) with Ammonium Thiocyanate‐H2O‐n‐Propyl Alcohol Extraction System in the Presence of Sodium Chloride

The behavior and conditions of liquid‐liquid extraction‐separation of Fe(III) by ammonium thiocyanate‐H₂O‐n‐propyl alcohol system in the presence of NaCl were studied, and the possible reactive mechanism of extraction of Fe(III) was deduced. The study showed that, in the presence of a given amount of NaCl, phases were separated thoroughly between n‐propyl alcohol and water. In the process of phase separation, the complex [Fe(SCN)_n]^(3‐n) formed by NH₄SCN and Fe(III) was quantitatively extracted into the n‐propyl alcohol phase. The extracted Fe(III) exists in the n‐propyl alcohol phase mainly as the forms of Fe(SCN)₂⁺ and Fe(SCN)₃. Also, the relationship between extraction yield of Fe(III) and the amount of NH₄SCN agreed well with the quadratic equation E = 0.54 + 58.14x ? 8.39x² (E and x represent the recovery rate of Fe(III) and the volume (mL) of 0.1 M NH₄SCN respectively). The quadratic R‐Square is 0.9990. With this method, Fe(III) can be completely separated from Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Al(III), Bi(III) and Cd(II) at pH 1.0?2.0. The present method was applied in determining Fe(III) in samples with satisfactory results such as relative standard deviation from 2.06% to 2.89% and recovery rate in the range of 98.4?101.4%.     

Dihydrogen phosphate mediated supramolecular frameworks in 2‐ and 4‐chloroanilinium dihydrogen phosphate salts

The title compounds, 2‐chloroanilinium dihydrogen phosphate (2CADHP) and 4‐chloroanilinium dihydrogen phosphate (4CADHP), both C₆H₇NCl⁺·H₂PO₄⁻, form two‐dimensional supramolecular organic–inorganic hybrid frameworks. In 2CADHP, the dihydrogen phosphate anions form a double‐stranded anionic chain generated parallel to the [010] direction through O—H...O hydrogen bonds, whereas in 4CADHP they form a two‐dimensional supramolecular net extending parallel to the crystallographic (001) plane into which the cations are linked through strong N—H...O hydrogen bonds.     

Chromium(III, VI) speciation analysis with preconcentration on a maleic acid-functionalized XAD sorbent

Chromium may exist in environmental waters as Cr(III) and Cr(IV), the latter being the toxic and carcinogenic form. Since atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry can only yield information on total Cr concentration, a polymer resin bearing O,O-donor chelating groups such as the maleic acid-functionalized XAD(CO)CHCHCOOH resin was synthesized to selectively retain Cr(III) at pH 4.0-5.5. The dynamic breakthrough capacity of the resin for Cr(III) at pH 5.0 was 7.52 mg g⁻¹, and the preconcentration factor extended to 250-300. Chromium(III) in the presence of 250-fold Cr(VI)—which was not retained—could be effectively preconcentrated on the NH₄⁺-form of the resin and determined by AAS or diphenylcarbazide (DPC) spectrophotometry. When Cr(VI) was reduced to Cr(III) with Na₂SO₃ solution brought to pH 1 by the addition of 1 M H₂SO₄, and preconcentrated on the resin, total Cr could be determined. The developed method was validated with a blended coal sample CRM-1632. Since the adsorption behavior as a function of pH of possible interferent metal ions, e.g. Ni(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), Zn(II), Pb(II) and Fe(III), was similar to that of Cr(III), selective elution of Cr(III) from the resin was realized using a mixture of 1 wt.% H₂O₂+1 M NH₃. The eluate containing Cr as chromate could be directly analyzed by diphenyl carbazide spectrophotometry without any adverse effect from the common interferents of this method, i.e. Fe(III), Cu(II) Hg(II), VO₃⁻, MoO₄²⁻ and WO₄²⁻. Various synthetic waste solutions typical of electroplating bath effluents containing Cr, Cu, Ni, Zn, Na, Ca, cyanide (and chemical oxidation demand (COD), achieved by glucose addition) were subjected to pretreatment procedures such as hypochlorite oxidation (of cyanide) and catalytic oxidation (of COD) with peroxodisulfate. Chromium determination gave satisfactory results. The combined column preconcentration—selective elution—diphenylcarbazide spectrophotometric determination was also successfully applied to the determination of Cr in artificial and real seawater.     

3′:5′‐Cyclic nucleotides: two sodium salts of cdTMP

3′:5′‐Cyclic nucleotides play an outstanding role in signal transduction at the cellular level but, in spite of comprehensive knowledge of the biological role of cyclic nucleotides, their structures are not established fully. Two hydrated sodium salts of thymidine 3′:5′‐cyclic phosphate (cdTMP, C₁₀H₁₂N₂O₇P), namely sodium thymidine 3′:5′‐cyclic phosphate heptahydrate, Na⁺·C₁₀H₁₂N₂O₇P⁻·7H₂O or Na(cdTMP)·7H₂O, (I), and sodium thymidine 3′:5′‐cyclic phosphate 3.7‐hydrate, Na⁺·C₁₀H₁₂N₂O₇P⁻·3.7H₂O or Na(cdTMP)·3.7H₂O, (II), have been obtained in crystalline form and structurally characterized, revealing one nucleotide in the asymmetric unit of (I) and eight different nucleotides in (II). All the cyclic nucleotide anions adopt a similar conformation with regard to nucleobase orientation, sugar conformation and 1,3,2‐dioxaphosphorinane ring puckering. In (I), no direct inter‐nucleotide hydrogen bonds are present, and adjacent nucleotide anions interact via water‐mediated and Na⁺‐mediated contacts. In contrast, in (II), direct thymine–phosphate N—H...O inter‐nucleotide hydrogen bonds occur and these are assisted by numerous inter‐nucleotide C—H...O contacts, giving rise to the self‐assembly of cdTMP⁻ anions into three different ribbons. Two of these three ribbons run in the same direction, while the third is antiparallel.     

Studies on the effect of non-ionic surfactant micelles on color reactions: III. The effect of micelles on metal ion reactivity in the Fe(III)-PAN-Triton X-100 system

Fe(III) and PAN form Fe(PAN),OH complex in CHCl₃ extract which shows absorption maxima at 550 nm and 775 nm (log ε₅₅₀,= 4.06, log ε₇₇₅ = 4.08). In the Fc(III)-PAN-Triton X-100 system, two complex species Fe(PAN)₂⁺ and/or Fe(PAN)₂OH may be formed. Fe(PAN)₂⁺ possesses a strongly absorbing peak at 550 nm (log ε₅₅₀ = 4.36). In this paper the effect of Triton X-100 micelles on the Fe(III)-PAN color reaction has been investigated in detail. We consider that the high density of ether linkages in Triton X-100 micelles concentrate hydrous Fe(III) ions and change their existing state. Moreover, the micelles not only raise the reactivity of Fe(III), but also enhance the rate of the color reaction.     

Static secondary ionization mass spectrometry analysis of tributyl phosphate on mineral surfaces: Effect of Fe(II)

The static secondary ionization mass spectrometry (SIMS) spectrum of tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) on a variety of basalt and quartz samples is affected by the chemical composition of the mineral surface. When TBP is adsorbed on Fe(II)-bearing surfaces, the compound undergoes concomitant H^? abstraction and reduction, followed by the elimination of two C₄H₈ molecules to form an ion at m/z 137⁺. When TBP is adsorbed to quartz or other nonreducing surfaces, it merely undergoes protonation and elimination of three C₄H₈ molecules to form H₄PO ₄ ⁺ . When TBP is adsorbed to Fe(III)-bearing surfaces, it undergoes H^? abstraction and elimination of two C₄H₈ molecules, to form an ion at m/z 153⁺. These conclusions are supported by model studies that employed FeO, Fe₂0₃, TBP, and tributyl phosphite. The results show that the SIMS spectrum is very sensitive to the mode of TBP adsorption on the mineral surface.     

A correlation between spin state and electrochemical electron-transfer rate for tris(N,N-disubtituted dithiocarbamato) iron(III) complexes

The electrochemical electron-transfer rate constants for the redox systems Fe(IV)L₃⁺/Fe(III)L₃ (L=N,N-disubstituted dithicarbamate ion) and Fe(III)L₃/Fe(II)L₃^? with a variety of substituents were measured at a platinum electrode in acetonitrile with the galvanostatic double-pulse method. It is known that each of the Fe(III) complexes exists both in a highspin state ⁶A₁ and a low-spin state ²T₂ in equilibirium of which position is widely changed by a subtle change in substituent. The standard rate constants for Fe(IV)L₃⁺/Fe(III)L₃ were larger or smaller than those for Fe(III)L₃/Fe(II)L₃^? according as the Fe(III)L₃ complexes are predominantly low- or high-spin complexes. Since the Fe(IV) and Fe(II) complexes are low-and high-spin complexes respectively, these findings suggest that electrochemical electron-transfer reactions accompanied by a spin-state change are slower than those without it. Such spin-state effect on electrode reactions has rarely been discussed so far.     

Cocatalysis by ruthenium(III) in hydrogen ions catalyzed oxidation of iodide ions: A kinetic study

RuCl₃ further catalyzes the oxidation of iodide ion by K₃Fe(CN)₆, already catalyzed by hydrogen ions. The rate of reaction, when catalyzed only by hydrogen ions, was separated graphically from the rate when both Ru(III) and H⁺ ions catalyzed the reaction. Reactions studied separately in the presence as well as absence of RuCl₃ under similar conditions were found to follow second‐order kinetics with respect to [I^?], while the rate showed direct proportionality with respect to [Fe(CN)₆]^3?, [RuCl₃], and [H⁺]. External addition of [Fe(CN)₆]^4? ions retards the reaction velocity, while changing the ionic strength of the medium has no effect on the rate. With the help of the intercept of the catalyst graph, the extent of the reaction that takes place without adding Ru(III) was calculated and it was in accordance with the values obtained from the reaction in which only H⁺ ions catalyzed the reaction. It is proposed that ruthenium forms a complex, which slowly disproportionates into the rate‐determining step. Arrhenius parameters at four different temperatures were also calculated. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 36: 545–553, 2004     

Ferrate(VI) and ferrate(V) oxidation of cyanide,thiocyanate, and copper(I) cyanide

Cyanide (CN⁻), thiocyanate (SCN⁻), and copper(I) cyanide (Cu(CN)₄³⁻) are common constituents in the wastes of many industrial processes such as metal finishing and gold mining, and their treatment is required before the safe discharge of effluent. The oxidation of CN⁻, SCN⁻, and Cu(CN)₄³⁻ by ferrate(VI) (Fe^VIO₄²⁻; Fe(VI)) and ferrate(V) (Fe^VO₄³⁻; Fe(V)) has been studied using stopped-flow and premix pulse radiolysis techniques. The rate laws for the oxidation of cyanides were found to be first-order with respect to each reactant. The second-order rate constants decreased with increasing pH because the deprotonated species, FeO₄²⁻, is less reactive than the protonated Fe(VI) species, HFeO₄⁻. Cyanides react 10³–10⁵ times faster with Fe(V) than with Fe(VI). The Fe(V) reaction with CN⁻ proceeds by sequential one-electron reductions from Fe(V) to Fe(IV) to Fe(III). However, a two-electron transfer process from Fe(V) to Fe(III) occurs in the reaction of Fe(V) with SCN⁻ and Cu(CN)₄³⁻. The toxic CN⁻ species of cyanide wastes is converted into relatively non-toxic cyanate (NCO⁻). Results indicate that Fe(VI) is highly efficient in removing cyanides from electroplating rinse water and gold mill effluent.     

Interaction of Phosphate with Iron(III) in Acidic Medium,Equilibrium and Kinetic Studies

Equilibrium reactions of iron(III) with phosphate were studied spectrophotometrically by UV-Vis in the pH range of ～ 1.0-2.20. The STAR-94 Program was used to determine the number of absorbing species as well as the stoichiometries and formation constants of the complex species. Some literature values were further confirmed and new values of different stoichiometries were obtained. The kinetics and mechanism of Fe(III) with phosphate were studied in acidic medium. The reactive phosphate species were found to be only H₃PO₄ and H₂PO^? ₄ and for Fe(III) were only Fe³⁺, FeOH²⁺ and Fe(OH)⁺ ₂. The observed rate constants were pH as well as T_phos (total concentration of phosphate) dependent, i.e. K_obs,i = A _i + B _i T_phos + C _i T² _phos (at a given pH).     

Six two‐ and three‐component ammonium carboxylate salt structures with a ladder‐type hydrogen‐bonding motif,three incorporating neutral carboxylic acid molecules

Six ammonium carboxylate salts are synthesized and reported, namely 2‐propylammonium benzoate, C₃H₁₀N⁺·C₇H₅O₂⁻, (I), benzylammonium (R)‐2‐phenylpropionate, C₆H₁₀N⁺·C₉H₉O₂⁻, (II), (RS)‐1‐phenylethylammonium naphthalene‐1‐carboxylate, C₈H₁₂N⁺·C₁₁H₇O₂⁻, (III), benzylammonium–benzoate–benzoic acid (1/1/1), C₆H₁₀N⁺·C₇H₅O₂⁻·C₇H₆O₂, (IV), cyclopropylammonium–benzoate–benzoic acid (1/1/1), C₃H₈N⁺·C₇H₅O₂⁻·C₇H₆O₂, (V), and cyclopropylammonium–ea‐cis‐cyclohexane‐1,4‐dicarboxylate–ee‐trans‐cyclohexane‐1,4‐dicarboxylic acid (2/1/1), 2C₃H₈N⁺·C₈H₁₀O₄²⁻·C₈H₁₂O₄, (VI). Salts (I)–(III) all have a 1:1 ratio of cation to anion and feature three N⁺—H...O⁻ hydrogen bonds which form one‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded ladders. Salts (I) and (II) have type II ladders, consisting of repeating R₄³(10) rings, while (III) has type III ladders, in this case consisting of alternating R₄²(8) and R₄⁴(12) rings. Salts (IV) and (V) have a 1:1:1 ratio of cation to anion to benzoic acid. They have type III ladders formed by three N⁺—H...O⁻ hydrogen bonds, while the benzoic acid molecules are pendant to the ladders and hydrogen bond to them via O—H...O⁻ hydrogen bonds. Salt (VI) has a 2:1:1 ratio of cation to anion to acid and does not feature any hydrogen‐bonded ladders; instead, the ionized and un‐ionized components form a three‐dimensional network of hydrogen‐bonded rings. The two‐component 1:1 salts are formed from a 1:1 ratio of amine to acid. To create the three‐component salts (IV)–(VI), the ratio of amine to acid was reduced so as to deprotonate only half of the acid molecules, and then to observe how the un‐ionized acid molecules are incorporated into the ladder motif. For (IV) and (V), the ratio of amine to acid was reduced to 1:2, while for (VI) the ratio of amine to acid required to deprotonate only half the diacid molecules was 1:1.
