The aqueous solution chemistry of the trimethyllead(IV) species and the trimethyllead(IV) complexes of six carboxylic acids of pKa values ranging from 2.75 to 4.95 has been investigated by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Equilibrium constants for the reaction of (CH3)3Pb+ with hydroxide ion to form (CH3)3PbOH and ((CH3)3Pb)2OH+, and the formation constants of the carboxylic acid complexes were determined from the pH dependence of the chemical shift of the methyl protons of trimethyllead. The formation constants of the complexes increase as the pKa of the ligand increases. The lead-207-proton coupling constant was found to be insensitive to complexation.
Die Komplexbildung von Trimethylblei(IV) mit den Aminosäuren Cystein, Penicillamin und Glycin sowie mit N‐Acetylpenicillamin und Mercaptoethanol wurden NMR‐spektroskopisch untersucht.
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.
