Copper, in seawater, is predominantly bound by organic ligands of unknown composition. Complexation has been thermodynamically characterized using synthetic ligand competition experiments which assumes equilibrium among all chelators within the system. However, equilibration times are constrained wall loss issues with ligands. Here, a solvent extraction methodology, was utilized to avoid wall-l...

New arylbismuth(lll) oxinates, PhBi(MeOx)(2), (p-MeC(6)H(4))Bi(Ox)(2), (p-MeC(6)H(4))Bi(MeOx)(2), (p-ClC(6)H(4))Bi(Ox)(2), and (p-ClC(6)H(4))Bi(MeOx)(2) (Ox(-) = quinolin-8-olate and MeOx(-)=2-methylquinolin-8-olate) have been prepared by reaction of the appropriate diarylbismuth chlorides with Na(Ox) or Na(MeOx) in the presence of 15-crown-5. An X-ray crystallographic study has shown PhBi(MeOx...
