Environmental context.In the last 20 years, the demand for palladium and other platinum-group elements has intensified, causing a significant increase in their concentration in the environment, with particular accumulation in urban areas. Knowledge about Pd2+ speciation in aqueous media is fundamental for the understanding of its biological and environmental activity in contaminated areas. Phytic acid appears to be a good sequestering agent towards Pd2+ under various conditions, indicating its potential use in the remediation of contaminated sites. Abstract. Palladium(II) speciation in the presence of phytate (Phy12–) was studied by H+ ion selective electrode (ISE) potentiometry at 25°C in NaNO3(aq) and in NaCl(aq) at ionic strength I = 0.1 mol L–1, in order to evaluate the effect of the ionic medium on the sequestering ability of phytate towards palladium(II). Owing to the discrepancies found in the literature on both the nature and the stability of hydrolytic species formed by this cation, Pd2+ hydrolysis was studied under the same experimental conditions as phytate/PdII measurements. As palladium(II) forms stable complex species with the chloride ion, the stability constants of various Pd2+–Cl– species were also calculated, as well as those of weak species formed with nitrate. The stability constants of six palladium(II)–phytate species, namely PdPhyOH11–, PdPhy10–, PdPhyH9–, PdPhyH28–, PdPhyH37– and PdPhyH46–, were determined. The sequestering ability of this ligand towards Pd2+ was evaluated by the calculation of various pL50 values (total ligand concentrations, as antilogarithm, necessary to bind the 50% of the metal ion as a trace present in the solution) under different conditions. Phytate sequestering ability towards palladium(II) was then compared with that towards other divalent cations under various conditions. Finally, the dependence of pL50 on pH was modelled by a simple empirical relationship.

The interactions of Ni(II) and Co(II) with 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde have been investigated in aqueous solutions at μ = 0.10 M (KNO3) at 30 °C. The stability constants of different complex equilibria have been determined using potentiometric methods. Spectrophotometric methods were also used in the case of the nickel(II) – 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde system. It was concluded that nickel(II) and cobalt(II), analogous to copper(II), enhance hyrdation of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde prior to deprotonation of one of the geminal hydroxy groups. Complex species of 1:1 as well as 1:2 metal ion to ligand composition exist under the experimental conditions used.

The stability constant of the sodium chelate of EDTA was determined by means of a sodium-sensitive glass electrode. It appears that a hydrogen chelate of the formula NaHY2− is formed in the neutral solution of EDTA, but is very unstable. The stability constants, pKNaY = −2.61 and pKNaHY = 0.03, are comparable to the value obtained by Schwarzenbach and Ackermann under different experimental conditions by a less sensitive method.

Abstract An understanding of Al3+-induced diseases requires identification of the blood carrier of Al3+ to the tissues where Al3+ exerts a toxic action. Quantitative studies demonstrate that the protein transferrin (iron-free) is the strongest Al3+ binder in blood plasma. Under plasma conditions of pH 7.4 and [HCO3-]27 mmol/L, the successive stability constant values for Al3+ binding to transferrin are log K1 = 12.9 and log K2 = 12.3. When the concentration of total Al3+ in plasma is 1 mumol/L, the free Al3+ concentration permitted by transferrin is 10(-14.6) mol/L, less than that allowed by insoluble Al(OH)3, by Al(OH)2H2PO4, or by complexing with citrate. Thus transferrin is the ultimate carrier of Al3+ in the blood. We also used intensity changes produced by metal ion binding to determine the stability constants for Fe3+ binding to transferrin: log K1 = 22.7 and log K2 = 22.1. These constants agree closely with a revision of the reported values obtained by equilibrium dialysis. By comparison with Fe3+ binding, the Al3+ stability constants are weaker than expected; this suggests that the significantly smaller Al3+ ions cannot coordinate to all the transferrin donor atoms available to Fe3+.

A potentiometric and UV spectrophotometric investigation on Mn2+-ampicillin and Mn2+-amoxicillin systems in NaCl aqueous solution is reported. The potentiometric measurements were carried out under different conditions of temperature (15 ≤ t/°C ≤ 37). The obtained speciation pattern includes two species for both the investigated systems. More in detail, for system containing ampicillin MLH and ML species, for that containing amoxicillin, MLH2 and MLH ones. The spectrophotometric findings have fully confirmed the results obtained by potentiometry for both the systems, in terms of speciation models as well as the stability constants of the formed species. Enthalpy change values were calculated via the dependence of formation constants of the species on temperature. The sequestering ability of ampicillin and amoxicillin towards Mn2+ was also evaluated under different conditions of pH and temperature via pL0.5 empirical parameter (i.e., cologarithm of the ligand concentration required to sequester 50% of the metal ion present in traces).

The Fletcher–Powell minimization algorithm has been successfully implemented for the extraction of metal complex stability constants from analytical potentiometric data. The procedure has been adapted to run on a microcomputer with acceptable execution times, and several strategies are employed to speed convergence and avoid false minima. This allows economical minimization for a large number of models of speciation, and improves the reliability of the proposed best fit by encouraging the checking of more models than previously possible. The Ni(II)–glycine system has been analyzed and excellent agreement with the stability constants of an earlier multi-laboratory study has been attained. The system proves useful in the evaluation of both analytical and computational methods. The procedure has also been used for speciation analysis of the Cu(II) complexes of the growth regulating polyamines, spermine, and spermidine. Both systems form fully deprotonated complexes at physiological pH, which are relevant to their biological activity.

The aqueous interactions of the sparingly soluble silver tellurite show that in a controlled ionic medium and at a constant temperature, an aqueous complex,[Formula: see text] is formed in presence of free tellurite ions. The solubility product of silver tellurite and the stability constant of the complex species have been evaluated from the experimental data.

In the present work, the stability constants logb<sub>11</sub> and the concentration of metal ion and thiosemicarbazone in complex solutions were determined by using <em>in silico</em> models. The 2D, 3D, physicochemical and quantum descriptors of complexes were generated from the molecular geometric structure and semi-empirical quantum calculation PM7 and PM7/sparkle. The quantitative structure and property relationships (QSPRs) were constructed by using the ordinary linear regression (OLR) and artificial neural network (ANN). The best linear model QSPR<sub>OLR</sub> (with <em>k</em> of 6) involved descriptors k0, core-core repulsion, xp5, xch5, valence, and SHHBd. The quality of model QSPR<sub>OLR</sub> had the statistical values: <em>R</em><sup>2</sup><sub>train</sub> = 0.898, <em>R</em><sup>2</sup><sub>adj</sub> = 0.889, <em>Q</em><sup>2</sup><em><sub>LOO</sub></em> = 0.846, MSE = 1.136, and <em>F<sub>stat</sub></em> = 91.348. The neural network model QSPR<sub>ANN</sub> with architecture I(6)-HL(6)-O(1) had the statistical values: <em>R</em><sup>2</sup><em><sub>train</sub></em> = 0.9768, and <em>Q</em><sup>2</sup><em><sub>LOO</sub></em> = 0.8687. The predictability of QSPR models for complexes of the test group turned out to be in good agreement with those from the experimental data in the literature.

ABSTRACTThe stability constants of the hydroxide complexes of zirconium(IV) and uranium(IV) have been measured at 15, 25 and 35°C [in 1.0 mol dm−3 (Na, H)ClO4] using potentiometry. For zirconium(IV), the results indicate the presence of Zr(OH)3+ and the polymeric species Zr3(OH)48+ and Zr4(OH)88+ whereas the results for uranium(IV) indicate the presence of U(OH)3+ and the polymeric species U4(OH)124+. The hydrolysis of both metal ions was studied at three temperatures allowing the determination of ΔH° and ΔS° of reaction for each species. The results were compared with previous results determined for thorium(IV) under the same experimental conditions to ascertain whether thorium should be used as an analogue for other tetravalent metal ions in safety assessment studies of nuclear repositories.
