Structure of chloroantimonates(III) with an imidazolium cation: (C3H5N2)[SbCl4] and (C3H5N2)2[SbCl5]

2003

Abstract Two different chloroantimonates(III) with an imidazolium cation have been synthesized by the reaction of antimony trichloride and imidazole in an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid. The crystals of (C3H5N2)[SbCl4] are monoclinic, space group C2/c, while (C3H5N2)2[SbCl5] crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pbcn. Both crystals are built of one dimensional zig-zag chains composed of [SbCl6]3− octahedra connected by edges and corners, respectively. The cavities between inorganic chains are filled by imidazolium cations. In both structures, one crystallographically independent imidazolium cation is rotationally disordered, and the positions of all atoms are split bet…

The structures of 1,2,4-triazolium chloride (C2H4N3)Cl and its derivative with antimony trichloride - (C2H4N3)2[SbCl5] · (C2H4N3)Cl containing unsubstituted 1,2,4-triazolium cations were determined. (C2H4N3)Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n with the unit cell dimensions at 86 K: a = 9.425(2), b = 8.557(2), c = 11.158(2)Å , β = 95.87(3)°; V = 895.2(3)Å3, Z=8, dc = 1.566, dm = 1.56(2) g·cm-3.At roomtemperature, crystals of (C2H4N3)2- [SbCl5] · (C2H4N3)Cl are orthorhombic, space group P212121, a = 8.318(2), b = 11.381(2), c = 19.931(4) Å, V = 1886.8(7) Å3, Z = 4, dc = 1.917, dm = 1.91(2) g·cm-3. In both crystals the 1,2,4-triazole rings are planar. The anionic sublatt…

A new force field including charge directionality for TMAO in aqueous solution

2016

We propose a new force field for trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), which is designed to reproduce the long-lived and highly directional hydrogen bond between the TMAO oxygen (OTMAO) atom and surrounding water molecules. Based on the data obtained by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we introduce three dummy sites around OTMAO to mimic the OTMAO lone pairs and we migrate the negative charge on the OTMAO to the dummy sites. The force field model developed here improves both structural and dynamical properties of aqueous TMAO solutions. Moreover, it reproduces the experimentally observed dependence of viscosity upon increasing TMAO concentration quantitatively. The simple procedure of the…

Conductance of potassium halides near the temperature of maximum density of water

1981

The conductances of dilute aqueous solutions of KCl, KBr, and KI have been measured over the temperature range 2 to 8°C and have been analyzed by the Fuoss-Hsia equation. The ionic Walden products at infinite dilution have been discussed in terms of local viscosity. The temperature dependence of these products suggest that near the temperature of maximum density of water, the structure-breaking ability of these ions changes in a regular way.

On the Creeping of Saturated Salt Solutions

2013

Creeping is a well-known but annoying phenomenon in the preparation of crystals from solution, where growing crystallites gradually extend up the walls of the growth vessel. In this process, solution is transported toward the tip of the creeping crystallites, where solvent evaporation takes place and solid material is deposited. In this study, the growth of crystal aggregates extending from evaporating droplets of saturated aqueous solutions of ionic salts, placed on different substrate materials, has been investigated using optical microscopy. It is shown that the rate determining step of the crystallization process is the evaporation of solution, following Fick’s laws. Fresh solution, nec…

Water and oxoanion encapsulation chemistry in a 1H-pyrazole azacryptand

2019

Anion complexes of the cryptand built with the tripodal amine tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, known as tren, with water and several oxoanions of biological and environmental interest (nitrate, sulfate, phosphate, perchlorate and arsenate) have been crystallized from aqueous solution and resolved with single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All crystals show guest species encapsulated in the interior of the cavity as well as, in some cases, sitting in the grooves defined by the arms of the macrocycle. Hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions play a major role in anion binding to the host. The macrocycle is able to encapsulate anions in a wide range of protonation degrees. Solution studies have bee…

Synthesis, solid state and solution studies of cobalt(II) complexes with 2-hydroxyiminopropanoic acid

2013

Abstract This paper describes the synthesis of the Zn(II) complex with H2L = 2-hydroxyiminopropanoic acid. The final structure incorporated two linear dimeric anions with two Zn2+ atoms, which are linked by a carbonate anion into a tetranuclear unit. In each dinuclear unit, the two Zn(II) ions are coordinated by three molecules of the doubly deprotonated ligand in two different coordination modes. This result is confirmed both by X-ray crystallography and by ESI-MS investigations of the crystals dissolved in water. Equilibrium studies of the zinc(II) complexes formed by H2L in aqueous solution based on independent pH-metric titrations and zinc ion-selective electrode (ISE) titrations indica…

Speciation of Organic Matter in Natural Waters-interaction of polyacrylates and polymethacrylates with major cation components of seawater

2004

Abstract The speciation of some high molecular weight polycarboxylates was studied in different ionic media. Polyacrylates here investigated ( W =2.0, 5.1 and 20.0 kDa) form weak species with alkali metal cations ( K =10 2 mol l −1 , t =25 °C, I =0 mol l −1 ) and quite stable complexes with alkaline earth metal cations ( K >10 6 mol l −1 , t =25 °C, I =0 mol l −1 ). Results are reported from experiments performed in a multicomponent electrolyte solution simulating the major composition of seawater (artificial seawater). Protonation constants in this medium are expressed as a polynomial function of S 1/2 ( S =salinity) and the sharp lowering with respect to values obtained in non-interacting…

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…
