Speciation Studies of Bifunctional 3-Hydroxy-4-Pyridinone Ligands in the Presence of Zn2+ at Different Ionic Strengths and Temperatures.

TL;DR: The acid–base properties of two bifunctional 3-hydroxy-4-pyridinone ligands and their chelating capacity towards Zn2+, an essential bio-metal cation, were investigated in NaCl aqueous solutions by potentiometric, UV-Vis spectrophotometric, and 1H NMR spectroscopic titrations and the determination of protonation and stability constants showed accordance with the data obtained from the different analytical techniques used.
Journal ArticleDOI

The inorganic speciation of tin(II) in aqueous solution

TL;DR: In this paper, voltammetric measurements on the interactions between tin(II) and the most important natural inorganic ligands, OH−, Cl−, F−, CO 3 2 -, SO 4 2 - and PO 4 3 - were reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solubility and activity coefficients of acidic and basic non-electrolytes in aqueous salt solutions: 3. Solubility and activity coefficients of adipic and pimelic acids in NaCl(aq), (CH3)4NCl(aq) and (C2H5)4NI(aq) at different ionic strengths and at t = 25 °C

TL;DR: In this paper, the self-interaction (ki) parameters from solubility and distribution data and the dimerization constant from the protonation constants in the same experimental conditions, were calculated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequestering Ability of Phytate toward Biologically and Environmentally Relevant Trivalent Metal Cations

TL;DR: In general, phytate results in a quite good sequestering agent toward all three cations in the whole investigated pH range, but the order of pL(0.5) depends on it, and the dependence on pH was modeled using some empirical equations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling the acid–base properties of glutathione in different ionic media, with particular reference to natural waters and biological fluids

TL;DR: This kind of systematic studies, where a series of ionic media is taken into account in the determination of various thermodynamic parameters, is useful for the definition of some trends in the thermodynamic behavior of glutathione in aqueous solution.
