Aquatic studies

Cotton and Mott3 reported the reaction of chromium(II) acetate with Me2NCH2CH2ONa to form an unusual tetrameric product in which each V,lV-dimethylaminoethanolate group is N—O bidentate but bridges through O to other Cr atoms in the tetramer. A recent protonation and aquation study on Crni/ethanolamine complexes4 has shown a sequence of reactions involving initial... 

Recently, Pankov and Morgan (1981a,b) emphasized the importance of various mechanisms for regulating kinetics in the aquatic environment. Examples showed the wide range of first- and second order rate constants (kf) and half lifes (ti) for different reactions that might take place in natural waters. The rate constants for several first order trace metal hydrolysis reactions, second order redox- and complexation reactions of interest for aquatic studies are summarized by Hoffmann (1981). His comparison of kinetic data on the oxidation of HS- under only slightly different conditions shows considerable variations e.g., t ranges from 7 -600 min for seawater media. 

Because the aquatic studies require a more precise evaluation of the quality of the incoming water and the use of specialized equipment, I will spend more time discussing this area. 

The quality of the incoming water is of particular concern to individuals conducting aquatic studies. Potable water is generally recognized as poor quality water for fish and invertebrates. A good fresh water is one in which daphnia will live and satisfactorily reproduce.

Data reported for several counterions. At 283 K data also reported in aqueous-organic solvents. At 313 K. Conjugate base of these amines, MeCeH4NH. Hg +- or NO+-induced aquation studies. 

Ecological techniques utilizing radionuclides and ionizing radiation A selected bibliography is the title of an extensive listing prepared by V. Schultz (1969, 1972, 1975). The subject matter includes terrestrial and aquatic studies and selected references from the aforementioned bibliographies. 

Within this category, we have included descriptions of techniques that seem to be of marginal relevance to our other sections. In addition, we will describe some equipment of interest. The subject of X-ray spectrometry in aquatic studies will not be discussed here, but readers interested in this subject are referred to Calaprice and Calaprice (1970) and Calaprice et al. (1971).
