Carbonato complexes

Other Coordination Complexes. Because carbonate and bicarbonate are commonly found under environmental conditions in water, and because carbonate complexes Pu readily in most oxidation states, Pu carbonato complexes have been studied extensively. The reduction potentials vs the standard hydrogen electrode of Pu(VI)/(V) shifts from 0.916 to 0.33 V and the Pu(IV)/(III) potential shifts from 1.48 to -0.50 V in 1 Tf carbonate. These shifts indicate strong carbonate complexation. Electrochemistry, reaction kinetics, and spectroscopy of plutonium carbonates in solution have been reviewed (113). The solubiUty of Pu(IV) in aqueous carbonate solutions has been measured, and the stabiUty constants of hydroxycarbonato complexes have been calculated (Fig. 6b) (90). 

Ratios of U and U to Th and Ra daughters, combined with differences in chemical reactivity have been used to investigate the formation and weathering of limestone in karst soils of the Jura Mountains, and of the mountains in the central part of Switzerland. Uranium contained within calcite is released during weathering, and migrates as stable uranyl(VI) carbonato complexes through the soil. In contrast, the uranium decay products, Th and Ra,... 

Ion Excha.nge, The recovery of uranium from leach solutions using ion exchange is a very important process (42). The uranium(VI) is selectively adsorbed to an anion-exchange resin as either the anionic sulfato or carbonato complexes. In carbonate solutions, the uranyl species is thought to be the tris carbonato complex, U02(C03) 3 [24646-13-7] and from sulfate solutions the anion is likely to be U02(S0 , where nis ) [56959-61-6] or 2 [27190-85-8], The uranium is eluted from the resin with a salt or acid solution of 1 AfMCl or MNO (M = H", Na", The sulfate solution is... 

The product CO3 radical can react with a variety of inorganic ions including the carbonato complex of Pu(V). Thus, in a pulse radiolysis experiment, Pu(VI) in 0.05 M Na2C03, He saturated, there are the parallel reactions (17) and (18)... 

Each entry has the % of total metal present as the free hydrated ion, then the ligands forming complexes, in decreasing order of expected concentration. For instance, in inorganic freshwater at pH 9, Ag is present as the free aquo ion (65%), chloro-complexes (25%), and carbonato-complexes (9%). 

The (triphos)Ni0 template reacts with ethyl cyanoformate to give (220).648 The MO description and reactivity of the CS2 complex (221) has been studied in some detail.649 Treatment with 02 gives the dithiocarbonate compound (221a),650 while bubbling of C02 through a solution of (221) yields the carbonato complex (221b).651 In both cases, one of the phosphine arms has been oxidized and is found dangling. 

New reproducible syntheses of platinum(II) carbonato complexes of the type [Pt(C03)L2] (L mono- or bidentate tertiary phosphine) involve the reaction of Ag2C03 with [PtCl2L2] in water-saturated CH2C12 solution.3 Other methods of preparation include the conversion of the dichloroplatinum(II) complexes to the corresponding bis(alkoxo)- or bis(phenoxo)-platinum(II) species, followed by hydrolysis in the presence of C02.

An analogous nitrato complex, Be40(N03)6, is known in the solid state (145). The presence of a central 4-coordinate oxide ion and bridging nitrato ions has been confirmed by X-ray methods (146). The structures of these solid-state (jl4-oxo complexes lend support to the fi.roxo structures suggested for phosphato and carbonato complexes in solution (see Section IV). 

Describe semiquantitatively the effect of increased pH (at constant alkalinity) or of increased alkalinity (at constant pH) on the binding of Cu(II) to soil particles. (Consider that Cu2+ forms soluble carbonato complexes.)... 

HCO 3 enhances the Dissolution Rate of Hematite. Fe(III) in natural waters is present as hydroxo complexes, especially Fe(OH) , Fe(OH)3(aq), Fe(OH)4. In addition a carbonato complex - Fe(C03)2 - is present in seawater and at the surface of solid iron(III)(hydr)oxides. Fig. 5.11 shows the dependence of the dissolution rate as a function of the hydrogen carbonato surface complex... 

The U(Vl) aqueous speciation will depend on the actual chemical composition of the contacting fluid. According to what we have discussed in the previous section, the U(VI) speciation will be mainly controlled by hydroxo or carbonato complexes. Hence the dissolution reaction will be described by the following set of reactions. 

It is the intention of the authors to present a brief account on metal carbonato complexes which have a direct bearing on the reversible hydration of CO2 by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. Emphasis is placed on the integration of the kinetic and mechanistic concepts derived from the studies on model systems with the available kinetic, chemical and structural information on the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. To start, the kinetics and equilibria of dissolved CO2, relevant to the present context, are presented. 

The stability constants of several carbonato complexes of metal ions in solution has been compiled (3). Several recent publications have dealt with the isolation and characterization of carbonato complexes... 

The carbonato complexes of lanthanides and actinides are of importance with regard to the metal ion speciation in the environment. These are, however, not linked with the enzyme models for carbon dioxide hydration and hence are not dealt with in further detail. 

A series of binuclear bicarbonato and trinuclear carbonato complexes have been isolated (34j) when [M(tren)(0H2)](C104)2 (M = Cu(II), Zn(II)) was allowed to react with NaHC03 at pH 6.5 and... 

The p3-bridged carbonato complex posseses a pseudo-3-fold molecular symmetry. Each of the Cu atoms is five coordinate with the four nitrogen atoms of tren and one oxygen atom of the carbonate ligand (C). The coordination polyhedron of the Cu atom can be described as almost (TBP), the copper ions being slightly out of the plane (0.15 A) of the three primary amine groups (Fig. 5).
