Speciation of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with succinic acid in the presence of anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants at an ionic strength of 0.16 mol dm-3 and temperature 303 K were investigated pH metrically. The existence of different binary complex species was established from modelling studies using the computer program MINIQUAD75. The decreased stability of the complexes with increasing micellar content was explained by electrostatic forces. The influence of the micelles on the chemical speciation is discussed based on the mole fraction of the medium. Distribution diagrams of various species of the complexes in relation to pH are presented.

A quantitative study of the equilibria involved in the interaction of Cu(II) ion with D-glucoheptonic, D-gluconic, D-galactonic, D-ribonic, D-glucuronic, and D-galacturonic acids in aqueous medium has been carried out by means of potentiometric measurements of hydrogen ion concentrations at a constant temperature of 20 °C and an ionic strength of 0.10 (NaNO3). The equilibrium data were processed with the FORTRAN computer program BEST. It was found that Cu(II) interacts with D-aldonic acids to form 1:1, 2:2, and 1:2 (M/L) complexes. The copper(II) complexes with D-galacturonic and D-glucuronic acids are considerably weaker than those of D-aldonic acid. Possible structures of the complex species formed are discussed.

The impact of sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) on the protonation equilibria ofL-aspartic acid, citric acid and succinic acid has been studied in various concentrations (0.5-2.5%w/v) of SLS solution maintaining an ionic strength of 0.16 mol dm-3at 303 K. The protonation constants have been calculated with the computer program MINIQUAD75 and the best fit models have been calculated based on statistical parameters. The trend of log values of step-wise protonation constants with mole fraction of the medium has been explained based on electrostatic and non-electrostatic forces operating on the protonation equilibria. The effects of errors on the protonation constants have also been presented.

Chemical speciation of Pb(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of L-glutamic acid was studied at 303 K in 0-60 vol. % 1,2-propanediol-water mixtures, whereby the ionic strength was maintained at 0.16 mol dm-3. The active forms of the ligand are + LH3, LH2 and LH-. The predominant detected species were ML, ML2, MLH, ML2H and ML2H2. The trend of the variation in the stability constants with changing dielectric constant of the medium is explained based on the cation stabilizing nature of the co-solvents, specific solvent-water interactions, charge dispersion and specific interactions of the co-solvent with the solute. The effect of systematic errors in the concentrations of the substances on the stability constants is in the order alkali > > acid > ligand > metal. The bioavailability and transportation of metals are explained based on distribution diagrams and stability constants.

The possible removal of copper(II), nickel(II), or lead(II) by an insoluble crosslinked poly(acrylic acid) was investigated in dilute aqueous solution. The binding properties of the polymer were examined at pH = 6.0 or 4.0 with an ionic strength of the medium µ = 0.1 or 1.0 M (NaNO3) using differential pulse polarography as an investigation means. The highest complexing capacity of the polyacid was obtained with lead(II) at pH = 6.0 with µ = 0.1 M, 4.8 mmol Pb(II)/g polymer. The conditional stability constants of the complex species formed were determined using the method proposed by Ruzic assuming that only the 1:1 complex species was formed; for lead(II) at pH = 6.0 and µ = 0.1 M, log K' = 5.3 ± 0.2. It appeared that the binding properties of the polymer increased, depending on the metal ion, in the following order: Ni(II) < Cu(II) < Pb(II). The complexing capacity and log K' values decreased with the pH or with an increase of the ionic strength. These results were in agreement with the conclusions of our previous studies of the hydrosoluble linear analogues. Finally, with the insoluble polymer, the log K' values were comparable to those previously obtained with the linear analogue whereas the complexing capacity values expressed in mmol g-1 were slightly lower.Key words: insoluble crosslinked poly(acrylic acid), copper(II), nickel(II), and lead(II) complexation.

We present the functional and structural characterization of the first archaeal thermostable NADP-dependent aldehyde dehydrogenase AlDHPyr1147. In vitro, AlDHPyr1147 catalyzes the irreversible oxidation of short aliphatic aldehydes at 60–85°С, and the affinity of AlDHPyr1147 to the NADP+ at 60°С is comparable to that for mesophilic analogues at 25°С. We determined the structures of the apo form of AlDHPyr1147 (3.04 Å resolution), three binary complexes with the coenzyme (1.90, 2.06, and 2.19 Å), and the ternary complex with the coenzyme and isobutyraldehyde as a substrate (2.66 Å). The nicotinamide moiety of the coenzyme is disordered in two binary complexes, while it is ordered in the ternary complex, as well as in the binary complex obtained after additional soaking with the substrate. AlDHPyr1147 structures demonstrate the strengthening of the dimeric contact (as compared with the analogues) and the concerted conformational flexibility of catalytic Cys287 and Glu253, as well as Leu254 and the nicotinamide moiety of the coenzyme. A comparison of the active sites of AlDHPyr1147 and dehydrogenases characterized earlier suggests that proton relay systems, which were previously proposed for dehydrogenases of this family, are blocked in AlDHPyr1147, and the proton release in the latter can occur through the substrate channel.

Equations for enthalpies and volumes of mixing are derived from thermodynamic association theory for complex binary liquid mixtures containing self-associating species and binary complexes. The various species can interact through general non-specific interactions of the simple mixture type.The equations, along with equations for the excess Gibbs energy, are applied to experimental data on excess Gibbs energies, heats, and volumes of mixing for the three binary systems formed from acetonitrile, carbon tetrachloride, and chloroform. The data require a theoretical model that involves two types of self-association of acetonitrile, one type of self-association of chloroform and formation of a binary complex CH3CN•2CHCl3. Thermodynamic parameters for the various types of association and interaction are derived by constrained least-squares methods, and provide a unified picture of the thermodynamic properties of these mixtures.

The formation of binary complexes of Cr(III) and Fe(III) with a tripodal ligandcis,cis-1,3,5-tris(methylamino)cyclohexane (tmach) (L) has been investigated in solution. The overall stability constants oftmachwith Cr(III) and Fe(III) were determined by potentiometric method at an ionic strength of 0.1 M NaClO4at 25±1°C in aqueous medium. The formation of species like MLH25+, MLH4+, ML3+, ML(OH)2+and ML(OH)3were observed. Fe(III) was found to form more stable complexes than Cr(III). Molecular mechanics calculations were performed to explain the mode of coordination in solution.
