O presente estudo forneceu dados para o cálculo das constantes de estabilidade formadas em um sistema aquoso e HCl contendo quitosana e cátions Cu 2+ , Mn 2+ e Zn 2+ . Os diagramas de espécies foram gerados para demonstrar como o pH influencia esses equilíbrios estudados por titulações potenciométricas e espectrofotométricas. Os sólidos extraídos dessas soluções aquosas em HCl foram estudados por espectroscopia no infravermelho. A quitosana complexa-se com os cátions Cu 2+ , Mn 2+ e Zn 2+ a pHs >4 >5 e >2 respectivamente, na razão ligante:metal, 1:1. As constantes de estabilidade calculadas para ML apresentaram a seguinte ordem de estabilidade: Cu 2+ >Zn 2+ >Mn 2+ . Algumas estruturas para os possíveis complexos formados foram sugeridas envolvendo ambos os átomos de N e/ou O como sítios quelantes de uma ou duas unidades monoméricas do biopolímero estudado.This study provided the data for calculating the stability constants formed in the aqueous HCl equilibrium of chitosan and Cu 2+ , Mn 2+ and Zn 2+ , and determined the species distribution diagrams to show the influence of pH in the complexation systems based on data obtained from potentiometric and spectrophotometric titrations. The solid complexes further obtained from these aqueous HCl systems, were investigated by infrared spectroscopy. It was verified that chitosan coordinated with the cations Cu 2+ , Mn 2+ and Zn 2+ at pHs >4 >5 and >2 respectively, in ligand to metal ratio of 1:1. The logarithms of the binding constants for ML species presented the following stability order: Cu 2+ >Zn 2+ >Mn 2+ . Some possible complexed structures were suggested having both N and/or O atoms as binding sites with one or two monomers of the biopolymer studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
