Modelling the adsorption of Cd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II) onto Fithian illite

Illite samples from Fithian, IL were purified and saturated with Na(+) ions. The acid-base surface chemistry of the Na-saturated illite was studied by potentiometric titration experiments with 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001 M NaNO(3) solutions as the background electrolyte. Results showed that the titration curves obtained at different ionic strengths did not intersect in the studied pH range. The adsorption of Cd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II) onto illite was investigated as a function of pH and ionic strength by batch adsorption experiments. Two distinct mechanisms of metal adsorption were found from the experimental results: nonspecific ion-exchange reactions at lower pH values on the basal surfaces and 'frayed edges' and specific adsorption at higher pH values on the mineral edges. Ionic strength had a greater effect on the ion-exchange reactions. The binding constants for the five heavy metals onto illite were determined using the least-square fitting computer program FITEQL. Linear free energy relationships were found between the surface binding constants and the first hydrolysis constants of the metals.     

Formation constants for the complexes of levulinate and acetate with manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and hydrogen ions

Formation constants are reported for the levulinate complexes of manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) at 25 degrees in 0.1M chloride medium.

The binding of trace amounts of lead(II), copper(II), cadmium(II), zinc(II) and calcium(II) to soil organic matter

The binding by peat of Ca(II), Cd(II), Zn(II), Cu(II) and Pb(II) present at trace-level concentrations in 0.0010, 0.010 and 0.10M sodium chloride, has been studied as a function of the degree of neutralization of the soil organic acid. The theoretically-based method used to express the complexation equilibria requires values for the concentrations of the several mobile counter-ions in the peat phase [M (II), H (+) and N a(+)] and permits estimation of the nature of the complexed species formed in the peat as well as of reasonable values for the formation constants of the species formed. The values of the formation constants thus obtained are independent of the ionic strength of the equilibrating solution, as they should be. This result was unattainable with the earlier methods of computation used for studying these equilibria. The species formed are Ca(II)A(+).HA and M(II)A(+), where M(II) represents Cd(II), Zn(II), Cu(II) and Pb(II).

Studies on some salicylaldehyde Schiff base derivatives and their complexes with Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Ni(II) and Cu(II)

The formation constants of some transition metal ions Cr(III), Mn(II), Fe(III), Ni(II) and Cu(II) binary complexes containing Schiff bases resulting from condensation of salicylaldehyde with aniline (I), 2-aminopyridine (II), 4-aminopyridine (III) and 2-aminopyrimidine (IV) were determined pH-metrically in ethanolic medium (80%, v/v). The formation constants were determined for all binary complexes. The important infrared (IR) spectral bands corresponding to the active groups in the four ligands and the solid complexes under investigation were studied. The solid complexes have been synthesized and studied by thermogravimetric analysis. The thermal dehydration and decomposition of these complexes were studied kinetically using the integral method applying the Coats-Redfern equation. It was found that the thermal decomposition of the complexes follow second order kinetics. The thermodynamic parameters of the decomposition are also reported. The electronic absorption spectra of the investigated ligands were carried out to determine the pK(a) values spectrophotometrically.     

Spectrophotometric study of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) complexes with some crown ethers in dimethylsulphoxide solution using murexide as a metallochromic indicator

The complexation reactions between Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions and benzo-15-crown-5, dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6, dibenzo-18-crown-6 and 1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 have been studied in dimethylsulphoxide solution at 25 degrees by means of a competitive spectrophotometric method using murexide as a metallochromic indicator. With the exception of Pb(II)(benzo-15-croqn-5)(2) the stoichiometry of the resulting complexes was found to be 1:1. The formation constants of the complexes were determined, and found to follow the Irving-Williams rule for the cations of the first transition series. It was found that the metal ion-18-crown interactions are strongly dependent on the nature of the substituents on the ring.     

The Interaction of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) with Mixed Donor Macrocycles Containing Pendant Carboxylic Acid Functions

The syntheses of mixed oxygen-nitrogen donor macrocycles incorporating two or three pendant carboxylic acid groups are described. Potentiometric titrations in water (I = 0.1; KNO₃) at 25°C have been used to determine the stability constants for the 1: 1 (metal:ligand) complexes of Co(II). Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II). The constants obtained are compared with the previously determined values for the corresponding complexes of the unsubstituted macrocyclic precursors. The results of these studies indicate that each carboxylate function participates in binding to the central metal. For some metal-ion/ligand systems there is evidence that ring size effects influence the overall stability patterns and that, in such cases, both the ether oxygens as well as the tertiary amines of the macrocyclic rings appear to bind to the metal.     

Acid equilibria of semi-methylthymol blue and formation constants of cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes with semi-methylthymol blue

Potentiometric and spectrophotometric studies on Semi-Methylthymol Blue (SMTB or H(4)L) have been performed. The acid-base and Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)-ligand reaction stoichiometries were determined, and the formation constants of the corresponding proton and metal complexes, and the molar absorptivities were calculated. Evidence was found for the formation of 1:1 Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes, and 1:1 and 1:2 Zn(II) complexes. Cu(II) formed the hydroxo-complex, Cu(OH)L(3-), but no hydroxo-complexes of the other metal ions were observed. Suggestions are made concerning the probable structure of the complexes.

Potentiometric study of the Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes with 3-hydroxy-2-naphthalene carboxylic acid

Formation constants of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes with 3-hydroxy-2-naphthalene carboxylic acid have been determined potentiometrically in a 50% (v/v) dioxane—water solution at 25°C and 0.2 M KNO₃. Experimental data are analysed using several computer programs. The obtained values for the log of the formation constant of the first 1 : 1 (metal : ligand) complex with the different metals are: Co 7.9, Ni 7.1, Cu 10.44, Zn 7.8 and Cd 7.3. The log of the formation constant for the 1 : 2 copper complex is 18.20. It is to be noted that Ni(II) yields a 1 : 1 complex weaker than expected from the Irving—Williams series.     

A new pyridine-based 12-membered macrocycle functionalised with different fluorescent subunits; coordination chemistry towards Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), and Pb(II)

The coordination chemistry of the new pyridine-based, N2S2-donating 12-membered macrocycle 2,8-dithia-5-aza-2,6-pyridinophane (L1) towards Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), and Pb(II) has been investigated both in aqueous solution and in the solid state. The protonation constants for L1 and stability constants with the aforementioned metal ions have been determined potentiometrically and compared with those of ligand L2, which contains a N-aminopropyl side arm. The measured values show that Hg(II) in water has the highest affinity for both ligands followed by Cu(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II). For each metal ion considered, 1:1 complexes with L1 have also been isolated in the solid state, those of Cu(II) and Zn(II) having also been characterised by X-ray crystallography. In both complexes L1 adopts a folded conformation and the coordination environments around the two metal centres are very similar: four positions of a distorted octahedral coordination sphere are occupied by the donor atoms of the macrocyclic ligand, and the two mutually cis-positions unoccupied by L1 accommodate monodentate NO3- ligands. The macrocycle L1 has then been functionalised with different fluorogenic subunits. In particular, the N-dansylamidopropyl (L3), N-(9-anthracenyl)methyl (L4), and N-(8-hydroxy-2-quinolinyl)methyl (L5) pendant arm derivatives of L1 have been synthesised and their optical response to the above mentioned metal ions investigated in MeCN/H2O (4:1 v/v) solutions.

Comparison of TCA6 and six other chelating agents showed TCA6 to be suitable for applications where strong calcium binding is essential.     

Interactions of pyridinecarboxylic acid chelators with brain metal ions: Cu(II), Zn(II), and Al(III)

Abstract  

The interactions of Cu(II), Zn(II), and Al(III) with 1,6-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid (DQ716) and 2,6-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4-pyridinecarboxylic acid (DT726), possible chelating agents in Alzheimer’s disease, were investigated in aqueous solution. The proton dissociation constants of the ligands, the stability constants, and the coordination modes of the metal complexes formed were determined by pH-potentiometric, UV–vis spectrophotometric, and ¹H NMR methods. The nitrogen of the pyridine ring changes the proton affinity of the carboxylate and phenolate moieties and these pyridine derivatives form stronger complexes with Cu(II), Zn(II), and Al(III) than salicylic acid. Interactions of the ligands with human serum albumin as their potential transporter in blood were investigated at physiological pH through ultrafiltration by UV–vis and fluorescence spectroscopy.     

Zinc(II), Cadmium(II), Mercury(II), and Lead(II) Complexes of N-Carboxymethyl-D,L-threonine in Aqueous Solution

The formation of complexes of Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), and Pb(II) and N-carboxymethyl-D,L-threonine (H₂CMT, H₂L) in aqueous solutions has been studied by spectrophotometric and potentiometric methods. The complexation model for each system has been established by the HYPERQUAD program from the potentiometric data. Three different behaviors are found: ML₂H, MLH, ML, MLOH, and ML₂ complexes are formed by Zn(II) and Cd(II) ions, ML₂H, ML, MLOH, and ML₂ are formed by Hg(II) ion, and only 1/1 complexes MLH, ML, and MLOH are formed by the Pb(II) ion. The formation constants determined for all these complexes allow simulation of experimental titration curves with good agreement. The speciation of multimetal systems with H₂CMT shows that this compound is a good and selective ligand at low pH for the Hg(II) ion.     

Etude des complexes sulfosalicylate de cuivre(III), nickel(II), cobalt(II) et uranyle(II) a l'aide d'une resine echangeuse de cations: Study of the sulphosalicylate complexes ofcopper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(II) and uranyl(II) by means of cation-exchange resins.

Study of the sulphosalicylate complexes of copper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(II) and uranyl(II) by means of cation-exchange resins.The conditional stability constants of the 1:1 complexes of the sulphosalicylate ions (L^3-) with copper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(II) and uranyl ions have been determined in a sodium perchlorate solution (0.1 M) and at various pH values by a cation-exchange method based on Schubert's procedure. The limits of application of the method are discussed. The variation with pH of the conditional stability constants can be explained by the existence of the complexes: CuH₂L, CuHL, CuL^-; NiH₂L⁺, NiHL, NiL^-; CoHL, CoL^-; UO₂H₂L⁺, UO₂HL, UO₂L^-, UO₂LOH^2-. The stability constants of these complexes are reported. Distribution diagrams of the various complexes of each element with pH and total concentration of sulphosalicylate parameters are given.     

Protolytic dissociation mechanisms and comparative acid stabilities of palladium(II), zinc(II), copper(II), and nickel(II) complexes of alkylated dipyrrins

Complexes of Pd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) with alkylated dipyrrins (Hdpm) were synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. Protolytic dissociation kinetics of these complexes in benzene in the presence of acetic and trichloroacetic acid was studied. A protonated dipyrrin is the reaction product of protolytic dissociation of the complexes in acid solutions. The observed and true dissociation rate constants, as well as activation reaction parameters, were calculated. Kinetic models of the processes are proposed, and the patterns of influence of the ligand nature on dissociation kinetics were determined. The Pd(II) complexes proved to be much more stable than other those of the other metals, according to the results of the kinetic studies. The lability of the complexes strongly depends on the length and position of the alkyl substituent of the ligand. The dissociation of the Ni(II) complex gives a heteroligand complex at low concentrations of acid, but the complex undergoes full protolytic dissociation at higher concentrations of acid. The dissociation of the complex of Cu(II) is an equilibrium process, involving formation of the protonated form of the ligand.
