Proton and carbon-13 nmr evidence is presented on the number, stoichiometry, geometry, and stability of the complexes which form when sodium tungstate and (D,L)-thiomalic acid are mixed in aqueous solution at pH values in the range 2–7. In particular, three (or four) complexes are detected having a 1:2 composition (metal–ligand), as well as a less stable complex which seems to be a 1:1 species. Preliminary data are also given on the exchange of bound ligand in these complexes.

The hydrolysis of the sesquimustards 1,2-bis(2-chloroethylthio)ethane (QN2) and 1,3-bis(2-chloroethylthio) propane (QN3) has been studied by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. For both sesquimustards, stable cyclic sulfonium ions were observed in hydrolysis experiments in a 1 : 1 mixture of [D6]acetone and D2O. The cyclic sulfonium ions, which persist in the aqueous solution for up to a week, are likely to retain some toxicity and could possibly be used as markers for sesquimustards in the analysis of mustard-contaminated soil for chemical weapons treaty verification. The formation of a macrocyclic oxadithiaether was also demonstrated for QN2 but not QN3.

A proton and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance study is reported on the number, stoichiometry, geometry, and stability of the complexes that form when sodium tungstate or sodium molybdate is mixed with each one of the following α-hydroxyacids in aqueous solution at pH values in the range 3–8: glycolic, lactic, chloro-3- andphenyl-3-lactic, mandelic, and glyceric acids. The predominant complexes have 1:2 composition and pK of formation of the order of −5 to −16.
