Vanadium(IV)−Citrate Complex Interconversions in Aqueous Solutions. A pH-Dependent Synthetic, Structural, Spectroscopic, and Magnetic Study

The circular dichroism of bilipeptides from Spirulina geitleri phycocyanin is strongly solvent and pH dependent. Maximum optical activity has been observed in aqueous solutions containing urea (8 ᴍ). In aqueous buffer, a sign reversal occurred upon the change from neutral to acidic pH; in methanolic solutions shows the optical activity a strong pH dependence both with respect to sign and magnitude. These findings have been rationalized by the presence of chrom ophorepeptide interactions, which are minimized in the presence of urea. M olecular orbital calculations indicate that the observed sign reversal is not necessarily due to a reversal of the chirality of the entire chromophore, but may also result from more localized conform ational changes

11B NMR chemical shifts and linewidths have been measured in very dilute aqueous solutions of boric acid and borates. The results can be explained bv taking pH dependent weighted averages over the species B(OH)3 and B(OH)4−. The11B−10B primary isotope effect on the magnetic shielding is smaller then 3 · 10-8. The H2O - D2O solvent isotope effect on T1 has been established for 11B and 10B in the species mentioned, and from the ratios of T1 the quadrupolar origin of the relaxation mechanism has been inferred.

AbstractKinetics of the electron transfer process between citrates and manganese(III) ions has been studied in acidic aqueous solutions. Acidification of the reaction mixture increased the reaction rate. The reaction is dependent on pH because there are two main protolytic forms of the Mn(III)-citrate complex in the studied pH range (4.5–6.5). Reduction potentials of Mn(III)/Mn(II) system in acidic and basic solutions as well as protolytic equilibria play a crucial role in understanding the pH profile of the studied system. The rate constants for Mn(III)citH and Mn(III)citH2+ species degradation processes are presented (citH3− and citH22− are trivalent and divalent anions of citric acid, citH4, respectively). Protolytic constant (expressed as pK′a) for Mn(III)citH protonation is estimated and discussed.
