Hydrolysis of methyltin(IV) trichloride in aqueous NaCl and NaNO3 solutions at different ionic strengths and temperatures
The hydrolysis of methyltin(IV) trichloride (CH 3 SnCl 3 ) has been studied in aqueous NaCl and NaNO 3 solutions (0 < l/mol dm -3 ≤1), at different temperatures (15 ≤ T/°C ≤ 45) by potentiometric measurements (H + -glass electrode). By considering the generic hydrolytic reaction pCH 3 Sn 3+ + qH 2 O = (CH 3 Sn) p (OH) q 3p-q +qH + (logβ pq ), we have the formation of five species and logβ 12 = -3.36, logβ 13 = -8.99, logβ 14 = -20.27 and logβ 25 = -7.61. The first hydrolysis step is measurable only at very low pH values and was not determined: a rough estimate of the hydrolysis constant is logβ 11 = -1.5 (± 0.5). The dependence on ionic strength of logβ pq is quite different in NaNO 3 and N…
Interaction of Alkyltin(IV) Compounds with Ligands of Interest in the Speciation of Natural fluids: Complexes of (CH3)2Sn2+ with Carboxylates
Complex formation by (CH3)2Sn 2+ with acetate (ac), malonate (mal), 1,2,3-propanetricarboxylate (tricarballylate, tca) and 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylate (btc) ligands in aqueous solution is reported. The study has been performed by potentiometry ([H + ]‐glass electrode) at T = 25 °C, and in the 0 < I < 1 mol dm 2 3 ionic strength range. In order to evaluate the salt effects on the formation constants of the complex species, and to contribute to the definition of the chemical speciation of diorganotin(IV) compounds in natural waters where carboxylic ligands are naturally present, interactions of NaCl (which is the major component of all natural fluids), with the components of the systems un…
