Incorporation of Mg<Superscript>2+</Superscript>, Sr<Superscript>2+</Superscript>, Ba<Superscript>2+</Superscript> and Zn<Superscript>2+</Superscript> into aragonite and comparison with calcite

We have investigated the presence of foreign ions into the bulk structure and the external surfaces of aragonite using periodic ab-initio methods. Four cations isovalent to Ca²⁺ were studied: Mg²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺ and Zn²⁺. The calculations were performed at structures (bulk, surface) that contain four and eight CaCO₃ units. Our results, at the Hartree-Fock level, show that the incorporation of those ions into aragonite depends strongly on their size. Mg²⁺ and Zn²⁺, due to their smaller size, can substitute Ca²⁺ ions in the crystal lattice while the incorporation of Sr²⁺ and Ba²⁺ into aragonite is energetically less favoured. Examination of the [011], [110] and [001] surfaces of aragonite revealed that the surface incorporation reduces the energetic cost for the larger ions. These systems provide challenging examples for most shape analysis methods applied in Mathematical Chemistry.

Sorption of Cu<Superscript>2+</Superscript> and Zn<Superscript>2+</Superscript> by Natural Biomaterial: Duck Feather

Feather fibers were modified by treatment with 5% tannic acid (TA) solution. Kinetics of the modification was investigated as a function of the reaction time. The maximum loading of TA on feather reached 8.3% after being treated by TA for 9 h. The adsorption of metal cations (Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺) by unmodified and TA-modified feather fibers was investigated as a function of fiber weight gain, temperature, and pH of the metal solution. The adsorption was enhanced at alkaline pH and ambient temperature and increased with the weight gain of TA. The maximum uptake of metal cations (Cu²⁺, 0.77 mmol/g; Zn²⁺, 0.95 mmol/g) was obtained by TA-modified feather at weight gain: 8.3%, pH 11, while at the acidic pH, the adsorption of metal cations by either unmodified or TA-modified feather was negligible. The influence of anions on the adsorption of metal cations was also studied. The uptake of Cu²⁺ from chloride was higher and faster than that from nitrate. Desorption of the metals was performed at acidic pH 2.5 for 48 h. The feather–TA–metal complexes exhibited higher stability for metal cations than the feather–metal complexes. All these experiments reveal that TA-modified feather fibers have good adsorption to metal cations and can be used as metal adsorbent in wastewater treatment.

Thermodynamic behavior of complexation of 18-crown-6 with Tl<Superscript>+</Superscript>, Pb<Superscript>2+</Superscript>, Hg<Superscript>2+</Superscript>, and Zn<Superscript>2+</Superscript> metal cations in methanol-water binary media

The equilibrium constants and thermodynamic parameters for complex formation of 18-Crown-6 (18C6) with Tl⁺, Pb²⁺, Hg²⁺, and Zn²⁺ metal cations have been determined by conductivity measurements in methanol (MeOH)-water (H₂O) binary solutions. 18-Crown-6 forms 1:1 complexes with Hg²⁺ and Zn²⁺ cations, but in the case of Tl⁺ and Pb²⁺ cations, in addition to 1:1 stoichiometry, 1:2 (ML₂) complexes are formed in some binary solvents. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH _c⁰ and ΔS _c⁰), which were obtained from the temperature dependences of equilibrium constants, show that in most cases the complexes are enthalpy destabilized but entropy stabilized. Non-linear behavior is observed between the equilibrium constants (log K _f ) of complexes and the composition of the mixed solvent. The selectivity of the ligand for these metal cations is sensitive to the solvent composition, and, in some cases, the selectivity order is reversed in certain compositions of the mixed solvent. The results also show that the mechanism of complexation reactions and the stoichiometry of complexes of some metal cations change with the nature and even with the composition of the mixed solvent. The article was submitted by the authors in English.     

Vinylimidazole copolymers: coordination chemistry,solubility, and cross-linking as function of Cu<Superscript>2+</Superscript> and Zn<Superscript>2+</Superscript> complexation

P(1-VIm-co-MMA) copolymers with 4 or 44 wt.% 1-VIm (abbreviated PVM-4 and PVM-44) where polymerized from 1-VIm (1-vinylimidazole) and methylmethacrylate with azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator and reacted with either Cu²⁺ or Zn²⁺. The resulting coordinated polymer complexes were studied using ICP-AES, CP/MAS ¹³C NMR, conductivity measurements, vibrational spectroscopy (mid-FTIR and far-FTIR), DSC, and EPR. It was established by ICP-AES, CP/MAS ¹³C NMR, conductivity, mid-FTIR and EPR measurements that the transition metal ions in the complexes were exclusively coordinated by the imidazole ligand. The coordination geometry is square planar with regard to Cu(II) complexes. The strong interaction between the polymeric imidazole ligand and the transition metal ion cross-links the system, resulting in augmentation of T _g (the glass transition temperature), especially for copolymers with high relative amount of 1-VIm. The effect of changing metal ion is more complicated and depends on both the strength of the coordinate interaction as well as the coordination number. The solubility of the coordinate polymer complex in conventional solvents is low due to the coordinate cross-links. However, the coordinate polymer complexes are soluble in strongly coordinating solvents such as acetonitrile and dimethylsulfoxide.
