| From our ongoing efforts to study the interaction of various hydroxycarboxylates with variety of essential and non-essential metal ions (Inorg. Chem. 2003, 42, 3262-3273), (Syn. and Reac. in Inorg. Metal-Org and Nano-Metal Chem. 2005 35, 515-522), and (Syn. and Reac. in Inorg. Metal-Org and Nano-Metal Chem. 2006 36, 469-476) we are presenting accurate potentiometric work in aqueous solutions at 25oC for the interaction of Al(III) with malic acid and Al(III) with citramalic acid. Although malic acid and citramalic acid have a slight structure difference (the former has a hydrogen on its chiral center while the latter has a methyl on its chiral center); there are great differences in their behavior in solutions independently and when reacting with the Al(III) ion. Our data presented are in good agreement with what have been reported in the literature. The proper speciation and simulation diagrams of these reaction systems will be presented and discussed. |
