Polychromatic femtosecond fluorescence studies of metal–polypyridine complexes in solution
2011
Femtosecond-resolved broadband fluorescence studies are reported for[ M(bpy)(3)](2+) (M = Fe, Ru), RuN3 and RuN719 complexes in solution. We investigated the pump wavelength dependence of the fluorescence of aqueous [ Fe(bpy)(3)](2+) and the solvent and ligand dependence of the fluorescence of Ru-complexes excited at 400 nm. For all complexes, the (MLCT)-M-1 fluorescence appears at zero time delay with a mirror-like image with respect to the absorption. It decays in <= 30-45 fs due to intersystem crossing to the (MLCT)-M-3 states, but a longer lived component of similar to 190 fs additionally shows up in RuN719 and RuN3. No solvent effects are detected. The very early dynamics are character…
The interaction of amino acids with the major constituents of natural waters at different ionic strengths
2000
Abstract The interaction of amino acids with the major constituents of natural waters has been studied potentiometrically by determining protonation constants at different ionic strengths (e.g., I ≤5.6 mol (kg H 2 O) −1 (NaCl)) and in artificial seawater (containing Na + , K + , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Cl − and SO 4 2− ) at different salinities. For glycine determinations in mixed NaCl–MgCl 2 , electrolyte solutions were also performed. The data included in this work, together with some already published, make it possible to calculate parameters for dependence on ionic strength using different models, i.e. an extended Debye–Huckel type equation and Pitzer equations. The results can be interpreted b…
Complexation of the potassium ion by diaza crown compounds in aqueous solutions
1988
The conductance behavior of potassium nitrate in water with and without 1,7,10,16-tetraoxa-4,13-diazacyclooctandecane[2.2] and 4,7,13,16,21,24-hexaoxa-1,10-diazabicyclo-8.8.8-exacosane[2.2.2] macrocyclic ligands have been studied in order to analyze the complexation behavior of potassium cations in water. The absence of the complexation found in the [2.2] system is discussed in terms of the ligand structural features (presence of hydrogen bond donor and acceptor sites). The ion pair association constant of potassium cryptate as obtained from conductance measurements is also reported and discussed.
Violurato complexes of nickel(II). Formation equilibria. Deprotonation equilibria of the coordinated ligands and related stereochemical changes
1986
The formation equilibria of nickel(II) violurato-complexes in water and dimethylsulphoxide-water (80∶20) as well as deprotonation of the coordinated ligands and related stereochemical changes are reported. The stability constants of the Ni2+-H2V− complexes logβ1=5.06, Iogβ2=9.38, logβ3=12.98 as well as the acidity constants of the [Ni(H2V)3]− complex, logβj1= 8.37, logβj2=15.76, logβj3=22.37 are determined at 25 °C and 0.1M NaClO4. A new violurato-complex of Ni2+, Na4[Ni(HV)3]5H2O, is isolated and characterized.
Sequestration of organometallic compounds by natural organic matter. binding of trimethyltin(IV) by fulvic and alginic acids
2006
The binding capacity of fulvic and alginic acids towards trimethyl tin(IV) cation was quantitatively determined in order to evaluate the sequestering ability of toxic organometallic compounds by natural organic matter. Investigations were performed in the pH range of natural waters (5–8.5) where the carboxylate groups, largely present in both sequestering agents, are the main binding sites. A chemical interaction model, according to which both the protonation of polyelectrolyte ligands and the hydrolysis of the organotin cation in NaCl aqueous solution were considered, was used to define the speciation of the systems under investigation. Measurements performed at different ionic strength va…
On the Existence of Different Zeolite-Associated Topological Redox Isomers. Electrochemistry of the Y Zeolite-Associated Mn(Salen)N3 Complex
2002
The electrochemical properties of Y zeolite-associated MnIII(salen)N3 (salen = trans-(R,R)-1,2-bis(salicyldeneamino)cyclohexane) has been investigated using polymer film electrodes immersed into neutral aqueous solutions. Zeolite Y-associated Mn(III)−salen complexes are reduced in one-electron reversible process at −0.25 V versus SCE. The electrochemical response is discussed in terms of the existence of two topological redox isomers: a weakly boundary-associated Mn(salen) complex, whose electrochemical response corresponds to a reversible one-electron transfer controlled by diffusion of the positive ions of the supporting electrolyte through the zeolite surface windows and channels, and a…
Thermodynamic parameters for the formation of glycine complexes with magnesium(II), calcium(II), lead(II), manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), zin…
1995
Abstract Protonation constants and Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Pb 2+ , Mn 2+ -, Co 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ and Cd 2+ glycine complex formation constants have been determined in different aqueous media at different temperatures. Salt effects are explained by a complex formation model which takes into account the formation of weak species. From the temperature dependence of the formation constants, thermodynamic parameters ΔH θ (and in some cases ΔC θ p ) have been obtained. A rigorous analysis of literature data, together with experimental findings, allows recommended formation parameters, in the ranges 0 ≤ I e ≤ 1 mol l −1 ( I e is the effective ionic strength) and 5°C ≤ T ≤ 45°C, to be obt…
Compounds of tungsten(VI) with citric acid: A spectrophotometric, polarimetric and hydrogen-1, carbon-13 N.M.R. study of the formation and interconve…
1986
Tungsten(VI)-citrate complexes, which occur in aqueous solution, were studied by polarimetric and absorbance measurements. The pH of the medium is the principal variable controlling complex formation and interconversion equilibria. At high pH (>6), the stable complexes are monomers with 1∶2 and 1∶1 stoichiometry, depending on the tungsten(VI)-citrate ratio, while at lower pH two different dinuclear complexes are formed. The intervals of existence of these species with the pH, the number of equivalents of acid necessary for their formation, as well as the conditional stability constant, have also been calculated. The structure of these compounds have been investigated by1H and13C-n.m.r. spec…
[2]Catenanes and inclusion complexes derived from self-assembled rectangular PdII and PtII metallocycles
2012
New inclusion complexes and [2]catenanes were self-assembled from a fluorescent diazapyrenium based ligand, a PdII or PtII complex, and cyclic or acyclic electron rich aromatic guests in aqueous and organic media. The molecular rectangles display a π-deficient cavity suitable to incorporate π-donor aromatic systems. The inclusion complexes between the metallocycles and phenylenic (2a,b) and naphthalenic (3a,b–5a,b) derivatives were studied by NMR, UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The crystal structure of (3b) ⊂ 1a·6PF(6) confirmed the insertion of the guest into the cavity of the metallocycle. Following the same self-assembly strategy, the use of polyethers 6,7 as π-donors resulted in …
Interaction of methyltin(IV) compounds with carboxylate ligands. Part 2: Formation thermodynamic parameters, predictive relationships and sequesterin…
2008
Thermodynamic data of mono-, di- and tri-methyltin(IV)-carboxylate complexes (acetate, malonate, succinate, oxydiacetate, diethylenetrioxydiacetate, malate, citrate, 1,2,3-tricarballylate, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylate, 1,2,3,4,5,6-benzenehexacarboxylate) in aqueous solution are reported at t = 25 °C and I = 0 mol l−1. Thermodynamic parameters obtained were analysed to formulate empirical predictive relationships as a function of different parameters, such as the number of carboxylate groups of the ligand and the charge of the alkyltin(IV) cation. Sequestration diagrams of citrate and 1,2,3-tricarballylate towards alkyltin(IV) cations at different pH values are also reported and discussed.…
