Due to the anionic nature of rhamnolipids, they are able to remove metals from soil and ions such as cadmium, copper, lanthanum, lead and zinc due to their complexation ability [57-59], More information is required to establish the nature of the biosurfactant-metal complexes. Stability constants were established by an ion exchange resin technique [60], Cations of lowest to highest affinity for rhamnolipid were K+ < Mg + < Mn + < Ni " " < Co " < Ca2+ < Hg2+ < Fe + < Zn2+ < Cd2+ < Pb2+ < Cu2+ < M +. These affinities were approximately the same or higher than those with the organic acids, acetic, citric, fulvic and oxalic acids. This indicated the potential of the rhamnolipid for metal remediation. Molar ratios of the rhamnolipid to metal for selected metals were 2.31 for copper, 2.37 for lead, 1.91 for cadmium, 1.58 for zinc and 0.93 for nickel. Common soil cations, magnesium and potassium, had low molar ratios, 0.84 and 0.57, respectively. 

The polyesters have then been transformed into their respective poly a-aminocarboxylic acids. These multidentate ligands poly-A propyleneglycine L- and DL- as well as poly-l-isopropyl-2-carboxyl-ethylenimine and poly-7V-ethylenealanine have then been examined as to their properties as metal complexating agents. The metal complexation stability constants of these polyampholytes are interpreted in the light of their structural differences, they show a four fold coordination with respect to the examined bivalent metal ions. Poly-A-piopyleneglycine has also been incorporated in cross-linked resin structures and the complexation behavior towards Zn, Cu, Ca and Mg has been determined. 

This paper deals with the study of the binding of bivalent metal ions with poly-JV-propyleneglycine L- and DL-, poly-l-isopropyl-2-carboxyl-ethylenimine and poly-iV-ethylenealanine. Acid dissociation constants and metal complexation stability constants are reported for Fe, Pb, Cd, Co, and Zn " ". The complexation...

Compartmental pyrazole ligands (14) can be used to form bimetallic complexes (15).157 This ligand enforces a separation distance between the metal ions. Stability constants were calculated showing a stability for both mononuclear and dinuclear compounds that was less than Cu11 but greater than Nin. 

Complex stability constants are most often determined by pH-potentiometric titration of the ligand in the presence and absence of the metal ion.100 This method works well when equilibrium is reached rapidly (within a few minutes), which is usually the case for linear ligands. For macrocyclic compounds, such as DOTA and its derivatives, complex formation is very slow, especially for low pH values where the formation is not complete, therefore a batch method is... 

To conduct meaningful mechanistic and kinetic studies in alcohol media reliable and simple measurement and control of the solution jjpH is essential. Potentiometric titration is the method of choice for obtaining acid dissociation constants or metal ion complex stability constants and in favorable cases the speciation of mixtures of metal-ion-containing complexes in solution can be proposed.20 Titrations in non-aqueous solvents are not nearly as widely reported as those in aqueous media, particularly in cases with metal ions21 and determination of pH in a non-aqueous solvent referenced to that solvent is complicated due to the lack of a way to relate the electrode EMF readings to absolute jjpH (see footnote and ref. 6) so non-aqueous solvents are generally inconvenient to use22 for detailed studies of reaction mechanisms where pH control is required. 

Metal-complex stability is also related to the basic strength of the ligand entity. For a series of 1 2 complexes of the bidentate naphthylazophenol ligand (5.64) with copper(II) ion, the acidic dissociation constants (pKa) are linearly related to the stability constants (log K1 2), the more acidic groups forming the less stable complexes. Thus where X = N02 in structure 5.64 then pKa = 8.1 and log K1 2 = 17.2, and where X = OCH3 then pKa = 8.5... 

Formally, complexation stability constants in water (log K) and extraction constants (logA j.J can be related via partitioning coefficients of the free ligand and its complex between the aqueous and organic phases.16 However, the latter are rarely available, and therefore the relationships between log/f and log Ktx are not widely used. Nevertheless, in many cases, the binding ability of ligands to metal in complexation and extraction processes follows the same trend. In this respect, information...
