Adsorption studies of benzenesulfonic acid; 3,3‘,3‘ ‘-phosphinidynetris-, trisodium salt (TPPTS); and di(μ-tertiobutylthiolato) dicarbonyl, bis(benzenesulfonic acid, 3,3‘,3‘ ‘-phosphinidynetris-, trisodium salt)
dirhodium ([Rh(μ-StBu)(CO)(TPPTS)]2) from aqueous solutions on four different silica samples were carried
out at 25 °C. The isotherms obtained were correlated by several models, among which Fowler's one was
found to be the most satisfactory. The solubilities of TPPTS and [Rh(μ-StBu)(CO)(TPPTS)]2 in water at
four temperatures in the range (25−80) °C were also studied.
